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) - sèche saint pierre offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Sèche Saint Pierre is a comfortable dive, well-suited for those newer to the Mediterranean or just looking for an easy afternoon. The site tops out at 22m, so it’s a good spot for building confidence or getting a little deeper without feeling overwhelmed. You'll find the usual suspects here: plenty of small wrasse darting between the rocks, occasional schools of damselfish, and if you look closely, nudibranchs on the sponges. It’s not a dramatic wall dive, more of a gentle slope with interesting nooks and crannies to explore. We often bring our newer divers here for a relaxed trip.
