About this site
La Barge aux Congres (The Conger Eels Barge) is a tugboat wreck lying north of Port-Cros, not far from Cape Montremian, in the Mediterranean. Also nicknamed "The Auntie," the date of her sinking is unknown. The wreck itself is considered of little structural interest, serving primarily as a habitat rather than a dive for its architecture.
The wreck sits at 45–49 m (148–160 ft), with a maximum depth of 48.5 m, placing it firmly in technical diving territory. It is rated CMAS 3*, reflecting the depth and the level of experience required to dive here safely.
The site is best known for its resident marine life: conger eels of impressive size are the main draw, though their numbers have declined since the practice of feeding stopped. Forkbeards and morays are also well established throughout the wreck.
