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 Grotte a Corail offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest cave diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
La Grotte a Corail offers a straightforward cavern dive for those comfortable in overhead environments. It's not a deep dive, making it a good introduction to cave diving without extreme depth pressures. Expect to see some small crustaceans tucked into crevices and, depending on the season, we've spotted nudibranchs on the walls. It’s a decent option for an afternoon out if you're already in the area.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
