About this site
Les Mameles lies off Hyeres Island in the Mediterranean, known for its striking underwater rock formations. The site features dramatic pinnacles and arches covered in vibrant gorgonians and sponges. Schools of barracuda and dentex patrol the area, while moray eels hide in crevices. Depths range from 15 to 40 meters, with clear visibility often exceeding 30 meters. Strong currents can occur, making it ideal for drift diving. The site offers a mix of caves and drop-offs, attracting both pelagic and reef species. Suitable for experienced divers due to depth and potential currents.
