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) - Sec de la Jaune Garde offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Sec de la Jaune Garde offers a straightforward dive, popular for its accessible location within the Calanques. We’ve found it’s a good spot for seeing typical Mediterranean fare, like moray eels tucked into crevices and schools of damselfish flitting over the rocks. It’s generally a relaxed dive, well-suited for those looking for a pleasant hour underwater without strong currents or complex navigation. Visibility can be quite good here, particularly in late spring and early autumn.
