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 Caveaux offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest cave diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cap Caveaux offers a straightforward cave dive, an excellent introduction for those curious about overhead environments. The entry is simple, leading into a large chamber where light still penetrates, keeping things comfortable. We've often seen groupers taking shelter deeper inside. It's a good spot if you're looking to gain some cave diving experience without too much challenge.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
