Chatillon
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) - Chatillon offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Chatillon offers a typical Mediterranean wall dive, dropping down into the blue from a rocky outcrop. You'll likely spot moray eels tucked into crevices, some scorpionfish camouflaged on the rocks, and schools of damselfish flitting about. It's a straightforward dive, good for getting your fins wet and shaking off the rust, suitable for most open water divers. We'd suggest checking local conditions before heading out, as the site can be exposed to wind swell.
