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) - Pointe Caussiniere offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest wall diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Pointe Caussiniere sits just inside the bay, a reliable spot for a relaxed afternoon dive, especially if the Mistral is blowing a bit. We often take newer divers here because it’s sheltered and the bottom slopes gently, so you can really take your time. You’ll find some decent rock formations, good habitat for moray eels tucked into crevices, and we’ve seen plenty of scorpionfish camouflaged on the rocks. While it’s not going to blow your mind with massive schools, it’s a genuinely pleasant dive, easy to navigate, and a great place to refine buoyancy or just unwind.
