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 Malalongue offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Pointe Malalongue gives you a solid Mediterranean dive. Dropping down to about 31 meters, it’s a good spot for intermediate divers looking for a bit more depth than some of the shallower sites around Marseille. The wall itself has some nice overhangs and crevices, perfect for spotting moray eels tucked away or a lone scorpionfish blending into the rock. It's a reliable dive when you want to explore some deeper rock formations without fighting too much current.
