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) - Port Du Niel offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Port Du Niel offers a straightforward dive in the Calanques, accessible directly from shore or a short boat ride. It’s a good spot for newer divers, with a gentle slope dropping to around 15 metres, providing a chance to spot small schooling fish and the occasional octopus tucked into crevices. Visibility here can vary, but on a good day, it's a pleasant way to get wet and explore the rocky Mediterranean bottom without strong currents.
