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 Tombant de Sophie offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest wall diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Tombant de Sophie is a straightforward wall dive in the Calanques, well-suited for divers looking for a relaxed exploration. The wall drops away into deeper water, covered in gorgonian fans and sponges. You’ll spot the usual Mediterranean suspects here: scorpionfish tucked into crevices and small schools of damselfish flitting by. It's a reliable choice for a second dive or if you prefer a gentler current.
