Epinephelus morio

The common Mediterranean grouper is the emblematic species of protected sites such as Port-Cros and the Calanques. Hermaphroditic - it begins its life as a female before becoming male - it can live over 50 years and weigh up to 60 kg. Its reputation for curiosity towards divers makes it a star of Mediterranean dive sites. Populations have recovered in protected marine areas, and DUNE offers dives dedicated to this fish departing from Marseille and La Londe-les-Maures.
