About this site

Le Liban is a wreck lying off the Riou archipelago near Marseille, on the Mediterranean coast of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, close to Ile Maire. The ship was a French mail steamer that sank in 1903 after a collision with another vessel off this stretch of coast. The wreck now lies broken across a slope in the range of roughly 30 to 40 metres, with parts scattered down a rocky drop-off. Because of the depth and the exposure of the site to current, it is generally considered a dive for those with some experience rather than a first outing. Divers visiting it tend to explore the scattered hull sections and machinery rather than an intact ship, and the site is usually reached by boat out of Marseille or nearby Cassis.
