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 Poursuivante offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
La Poursuivante, off the coast of Marseille, offers a solid dive for those exploring the Calanques. The site centres on the wreck of a small patrol boat, sunk during WWII, now resting upright on a sandy bottom. We find it’s a good spot for newer wreck divers or those looking for a relaxed multi-level profile, with plenty of resident fish life flitting through the superstructure. Expect typical Mediterranean visibility and some interesting historical context.
