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) - Carro offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Carro offers a straightforward Mediterranean dive, popular with local clubs. The site has a gentle slope, perfect for getting back into diving after a break or for those newer to colder water. You'll likely spot schools of damselfish, the occasional moray eel tucked into a crevice, and a decent scattering of red coral. It's a reliable option for a relaxed day out, generally free from strong currents.
