    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Le Sec de l'Île d'Or offers a pleasant dive, especially when the conditions are calm. It's a solid choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed outing, with depths that don't push the limits. You'll find a good variety of Mediterranean fish life darting through the rocks and sponges. We've often seen octopus here, tucked away in crevices, if you take the time to look.
