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 Medes offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Les Medes gives divers a classic Calanques experience, with rocky drop-offs and a decent chance of seeing schools of barracuda. We've often found small groupers tucked into crevices, and the wall itself is home to sponges and gorgonians. It’s a solid pick for those looking for a straightforward Mediterranean wall dive with reliable conditions, suitable for most experience levels.
