Marseille

The undeniable capital of diving in the Mediterranean attracts enthusiasts with the evocative names of the Riou archipelago, Frioul, or Planier. In Marseille, every sea outing promises an immersion in a wild and spectacular setting. Among the top sites, wrecks always enjoy great success: the Chaouen and Dalton on Planier, the Lebanon on Maïre, the Drôme, or the Messerschmitt for experienced divers. These dives are rich in history, where marine life has gradually reclaimed its rights.

The drop-offs are no exception and are among the most beautiful spots in the Mediterranean. Those of the Impériaux and Grand Congloué display their red and yellow gorgonians in the current, amidst schools of anthias, offering a colorful spectacle. Exploration enthusiasts will appreciate the underwater caves scattered around the islands and along the coast: the Rainbow cave on Jarre, the Pérès cave on Plan, or the Fig tree cave near Sormiou will delight fans of cavities and light play.

And after diving? Nothing is more pleasant than finding yourself on a terrace by the Old Port to share a refreshing aperitif, with olives and peanuts within reach. Because diving in Marseille also means enjoying a unique way of life, between sea, sun, and friendliness.
