The Cerbere Mole dive is a relatively easy shore dive in the heart of Marseille, tucked behind the old port. You'll drop onto a rocky slope, typically finding schools of damselfish, bream, and small scorpionfish blending into the surroundings. It's a nice, convenient spot for a relaxed shallow dive or a night dive, particularly good for newer divers getting comfortable in the Mediterranean.
