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) - Le canoubier offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest reef diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Canoubier gives divers a straightforward Mediterranean wall dive. We typically find sponges and small gorgonian fans clinging to the rock face, with occasional scorpionfish tucked into crevices. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive or for newer divers getting comfortable with depth, usually without strong currents. Expect typical coastal fish life, like damselfish and wrasse.
