    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Pointe de Maupertuis offers a straightforward dive along a rocky drop-off, typical of the Calanques coastline. We’ve found decent schools of damselfish and often see moray eels tucked into the crevices. It's a reliable spot for a relaxed dive when you're looking for an easy entry, good for divers comfortable with a gentle drift along the wall.
