    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The JCC site in Marseille offers a decent dive for those exploring the Calanques. You'll generally find the usual Mediterranean suspects here, a scattering of small fish, maybe a nudibranch or two if you look closely. It’s a solid pick for an easy afternoon dive, good for getting wet without anything too challenging.
