Sec des Aiguilles offers a relaxed dive suitable for less experienced divers or those looking for an easy afternoon in the water. You’ll find a gently sloping reef, typically with good visibility, where we’ve often spotted small octopus tucked into crevices and schools of damselfish flitting among the rocks. It's a comfortable spot to get your fins wet in the Marseille area.
