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 Pierre du Levant offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest reef diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
La Pierre du Levant offers a straightforward dive, well-suited for less experienced divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The main attraction is a large rock formation that provides ample nooks and crannies for small moray eels and octopus. We often see schools of damselfish flitting among the gorgonian fans, and the occasional red scorpionfish blending into the rocky bottom. It's a reliable spot for a calm dive when conditions are good.
