    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Le Cap Plane offers a relaxed dive in the Calanques. We often spot barracuda cruising past, and there are nudibranchs tucked away among the rocks if you look closely. The site is suitable for newer divers looking for a straightforward Mediterranean experience, though we've found it doesn't offer much for those seeking dramatic topography or pelagics. It’s a decent spot for a chilled out second dive.
