    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Le Chalan Labillon offers a straightforward dive, typical of the Calanques. You'll find rocky slopes descending into the blue, with the usual Mediterranean suspects like schooling damselfish and the occasional moray eel peeking from crevices. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive or for divers looking to explore the general topography of the area without strong currents. We wouldn't expect anything groundbreaking, but it's a solid, reliable option.
