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 Ker Bihan offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Ker Bihan, tucked away in the Calanques, offers a straightforward dive. It's a place where you'll generally find barracuda cruising by, and often a decent sized grouper or two hanging out in the crevices. The site is a good choice for a relaxing afternoon dive, suitable for divers comfortable with a gentle current. We like it for shaking off the travel rust or just enjoying a calm swim.
