About this site
This dive site near Marseille features dramatic underwater cliffs and caves in the clear waters of the Mediterranean. The rocky terrain is covered with colorful gorgonians and sponges, while schools of barracuda and groupers patrol the depths. Strong currents attract pelagic species, making it ideal for advanced divers. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters, revealing stunning drop-offs and swim-throughs. The site sits near the Calseraigne archipelago, offering shelter from open-sea conditions. Watch for moray eels hiding in crevices and octopuses camouflaged among the rocks. Thermoclines can create sudden temperature shifts, adding to the adventure.
