Wreck diving

In addition to their historical interest, wrecks have the advantage to concentrate the marine life because they form artificial reefs with many sheltered caves. We often see congers, murenas and groupers.

The Robuste is a wreck accessible to experienced CMAS * Divers in good technical conditions since it lays in about 72 ft of water.

The Péniches d'Anthéor, the Saint Helm and the Grosse Minouche are some other deeper wrecks in our range.

 

Day trips, excursions, stays, ...

Several times a year we plan to go and dive in the Var (Port-Cros, etc.), in Marseilles or in l'Estartit (Spain) for a day, a weekend or a week.

Firework evennings at sea

In July and August after a night dive, we can enjoy watching a firework at the ringside seats aroung a barbecue on the boat.

Snorkeling

Enjoy swimming and free diving well offshore the overcrowed beaches in summer...
