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) - Piton des Pyramides offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Piton des Pyramides offers a straightforward dive, well-suited for less experienced divers or those looking for a relaxed exploration. You’ll find a series of rocky pinnacles, some rising close to the surface, creating interesting swim-throughs and pockets for marine life. We’ve spotted plenty of smaller Mediterranean fish here, like ornate wrasse and blennies, often darting between the rocks. It’s a pleasant spot to spend an hour underwater, particularly when other sites might have stronger currents.
