Why dive here
With 157+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and mobula rays (devil rays) - Anse au Canon offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest reef diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Anse au Canon offers a straightforward dive, accessible from shore, making it popular for training and those wanting an easy entry. The topography here is mostly rocky, with some seagrass patches where you might spot wrasse and small rays. It's not a site for big pelagics or dramatic corals, but for an easy dip or skill practice, it does the trick. We'd suggest it for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon underwater.
