    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Le tombant de Niolon offers a classic Mediterranean wall dive. The reef drops away, revealing crevices and small caves that provide shelter for moray eels and lobsters. We often spot schools of damselfish flitting about the gorgonian fans. This site is a solid choice for divers looking for a straightforward, relaxing dive with typical local fauna.
