Baie et cap d'Antibes - îles de Lerins
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) - La Grosse Minouche offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
La Grosse Minouche offers a good drift dive along a rocky drop-off. We've often seen barracuda schools here, hanging mid-water, and the occasional group of dentex. It’s a site that suits divers comfortable with current, providing a relaxed float past some nice wall features. It’s a solid choice for a second dive when you want something straightforward and scenic.
