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 Stella offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Stella, just off the coast near Marseille, is a classic Mediterranean wall dive. We often find schools of damselfish here, hugging the rocky drop-off, with the occasional octopus peering out from crevices. It's a straightforward dive, good for getting your fins wet and enjoying the calm, blue expanse. Suitable for most divers looking for a relaxing profile rather than big pelagics.
