    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Le Tombant du Planier offers divers a classic Mediterranean wall dive off Marseille. The drop-off itself is impressive, extending deep, with red gorgonians clinging to the rock face. Look for lobsters tucked into crevices and moray eels peeking from their holes. It's a solid choice for divers comfortable with depth and current, keen to explore a dramatic underwater landscape.
