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) - Grotte et Tunnels des Lecques offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest cave diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Grotte et Tunnels des Lecques offers a straightforward cave and tunnel dive, sitting in the 10-30m range. You'll find a series of swim-throughs and small chambers, typical of the Mediterranean's limestone geology. It’s a good choice for divers looking to explore overhead environments without extreme depths or complex navigation. We often see a few moray eels tucked into crevices, and small shoals of damselfish at the entrances.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
