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 vierge de Bendor offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest reef diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
We often drop in at La Vierge de Bendor for a relaxed dive, especially when the Mistral wind picks up. It’s a pretty sheltered spot. You’ll find a statue of the Virgin Mary here, resting around 15 metres, often surrounded by small schools of fish and nudibranchs on the rocks. It’s a calm site, good for less experienced divers or for a gentle second dive.
