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) - Fouille Nord offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest reef diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Fouille Nord offers a pleasant Mediterranean dive, often used as a training spot for newer divers in the Calanques. You'll find a rocky reef sloping gently, home to plenty of small wrasse and scorpionfish tucked into crevices. It's a relaxed dive, good for getting comfortable in the water or for a leisurely swim-through with a camera. The visibility here can be quite good on a calm day.
