About this site

Hellcat lies off Le Lavandou on the Var coast of the French Riviera in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, a stretch of Mediterranean coastline marked by rocky calanques and small offshore islands, with the Iles d'Hyeres not far to the east. The site is reached by boat from the town's harbor, and it drops to a maximum depth of around 55 metres, rated as a technical dive.
