    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Le Mirage is one of the accessible shore dives within the Calanques, often used for training or a relaxed afternoon. You’ll find a gently sloping reef, mostly rock and sand, with small pockets of Posidonia grass. It’s a good spot for spotting blennies, small wrasse, and sometimes an octopus tucked into a crevice. We’d suggest this one for newer divers or anyone looking for an easy, shallow dive.
