    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Lion de Terre sits just off the coast, offering a good introduction to diving in the Calanques. We often find schools of damselfish here, darting amongst the rocky outcrops. The site is relatively shallow, making it a comfortable spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. Visibility generally holds up well, giving a clear view of the typical Mediterranean seafloor.
