    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Escampobariou offers a straightforward dive, suitable for those looking for a relaxed exploration off the coast of Marseille. We've found the site good for spotting smaller Mediterranean fish darting between the rocks and the occasional moray eel peeking from a crevice. It’s a solid option for newer divers getting comfortable with the local conditions, or for a second dive of the day.
