    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    La Pierre de Cassis is a solid choice for an easy dive in the Calanques. The site is sheltered, which often means calmer conditions, making it a good spot for newer divers or for a relaxed second dive. You'll generally find classic Mediterranean reef fish darting around, though it’s not known for big pelagics or dramatic corals. It’s a comfortable dive, not one to write home about, but perfectly pleasant.
