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) - Cap Canadell offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cap Canadell offers a straightforward dive, popular with local clubs for its reliability. The rocky slope descends gradually, dotted with typical Mediterranean sponges and small gorgonian fans. We often spot octopus tucked into crevices and schools of damselfish flitting through the posidonia seagrass meadows. It's a solid choice for a relaxing dive, especially if you're looking for something calm after a day of exploring the Calanques.
