    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Cape of Maire offers a straightforward dive, popular for its accessible conditions along the Calanques coast. We usually find schools of damselfish here, alongside wrasse darting between the rocks. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive or for those looking to get comfortable with Mediterranean diving. Visibility is typically decent, but can drop after strong winds.
