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 Chalutier offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Chalutier offers a look at a small fishing trawler wreck, lying on a sandy bottom near the coast. You'll likely spot moray eels tucked into the remaining structure and schools of small fish around the deck. It's a straightforward dive, good for newer wreck divers or those looking for an easy second dive in the area. Visibility is typically decent, but can drop after strong winds.
