About this site
Couloir Aux Gorgones is a dive site at Le Grand Congloué, the small island off the Marseille coastline in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, within the calanques stretch of this part of the Mediterranean. The island is known for the archaeological wreck excavations carried out there in the mid twentieth century, and the surrounding waters are typically reached by boat from Marseille or the nearby calanque ports. Divers at this particular spot have reported leopard sea slugs, Mediterranean moray, Mediterranean rainbow wrasse, red scorpionfish, tricolored felimare, and violescent sea-whip among the life on the rock.
