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) - Les bouteilles offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest reef diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Les bouteilles offers a relaxed dive, suitable for newer divers or those looking for an easy afternoon. The site features a series of small rock formations and scattered Posidonia meadows. We’ve spotted plenty of blennies, small wrasse, and the occasional octopus tucked into the rocks here. It’s a good spot for observing common Mediterranean reef life without strong currents or deep profiles.
