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) - TELL offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Tell is a carrier vessel, settled in shallow water just 8 metres deep. It’s a good spot for a relaxed exploration, with the wreck structure now home to various schooling fish and some resident moray eels. We often see nudibranchs on the hull too. It's an easy dive, suitable for newer divers looking for a first wreck experience.
