About this site
This wreck dive near Ramatuelle features the Le Pionier, a sunken minesweeper resting at 30 meters. The structure is intact, covered in colorful sponges and home to groupers, moray eels, and schools of barracuda. Strong currents bring excellent visibility, making it ideal for advanced divers. The surrounding rocky seabed adds to the dramatic scenery. Best explored in summer and early autumn.
