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 grand Salaman offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Grand Salaman offers a straightforward dive, typically starting around 10 meters and dropping to 20 or 25 meters. It’s a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration of the Mediterranean seabed, often finding groupers and moray eels in the rocky crevices. The topography isn't dramatic, but there are plenty of small nooks and crannies to peer into. We'd suggest it for a calm afternoon dive.
