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 en plastique offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
The "Plastic Trawler" is a site we’ve heard divers mention for its unusual character. It's an artificial reef, a small fishing vessel deliberately scuttled. Expect to see the boat itself, along with the typical Mediterranean inhabitants that have made it home: small schooling fish, a few moray eels, and octopuses tucked into crevices. It’s a straightforward dive, good for those looking for a relaxed wreck experience in the area.
