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 Jardin offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Jardin sits within the Calanques, offering a straightforward dive often suitable for newer divers. You'll find a gently sloping reef with plenty of small Mediterranean species like blennies, gobies, and nudibranchs tucked into the rocks. It’s a good spot for a relaxed exploratory dive, particularly if you’re looking to get comfortable with the local conditions. Visibility here can vary, but on a good day, it's a pleasant, easy going experience.
