    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Lotte, a ferry that met its end in the Calanques, now rests at 40 metres. This is a technical dive, best for experienced wreck divers comfortable with depth. Its structure is fragmented, creating swim-throughs and overhangs for lobsters and conger eels. We've often found nudibranchs on the remaining deck plates.
