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 du Cap Gros offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest wall diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Tombant du Cap Gros is a classic Mediterranean wall dive, dropping away into deeper water off the coast near Marseille. We've found good gorgonian coverage here, particularly the red variety, and it's a reliable spot for octopuses tucked into crevices. Conditions can vary, so it's best for divers comfortable with potential currents.
