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) - Fora Simona offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Fora Simona offers a straightforward Mediterranean dive. We’ve found decent rock formations here, good for navigating at a relaxed pace, with the occasional moray eel peeking out from crevices. It's a solid choice for a casual afternoon dive if you're looking for something calm, perhaps for newer divers building confidence or just wanting to enjoy the underwater landscape without any drama.
