Iles Marseillaises - Cassidaigne
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 cap de Jarron offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le cap de Jarron offers a pleasant dive, mostly sheltered from the Mistral winds. We found a gentle slope down to around 20 metres, dotted with large rocks providing cover for small groupers and moray eels. It’s a good spot for a relaxed exploration, suitable for newer divers looking for an easy introduction to the Calanques. Visibility is usually decent here, making it a reliable choice when other sites are rough.
