Set in a 70-hectare natural area, this 120-hectare lake is a former gravel pit redeveloped for swimming and leisure activities.

The site has a 2.5-hectare stretch of water, with depths ranging from 0 to 18 meters, reserved for diving. In addition, an area with a maximum depth of 6 meters has been set aside for safe first dives in the natural environment.

The site is 42m deep. Access is via steps or a pontoon. The site descends rapidly. Visibility can be average in shallow water depending on the season, but improves below 10m. The site is dark or even black at depth. The bottom is muddy. An aircraft wreck is visible (27m).

Launch from a galley beach. It's possible to take beginners with you, as long as you don't go all the way to the drop-off. The drop-off is vertical and descends to a depth of over 60m.

Launching is from the steps near the parking lot. The bottom slopes gently down to a depth of around 6m. It then slopes down a little more steeply. A rowboat is located at a depth of around 5m, not in the harbor channel.
