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 Ghrib offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Ghrib offers a straightforward dive, popular for its easy access within the Calanques. The site features rocky slopes dropping to moderate depths, home to typical Mediterranean species like moray eels and octopus tucked into crevices. It’s a solid choice for a relaxing afternoon dive, particularly for those looking to enjoy the scenery without challenging conditions. We find it’s a good spot for newer divers or for shaking off the rust.
