Tete de la vache
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) - Tete de la vache offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Tete de la Vache offers a straightforward dive into the limestone formations typical of the Calanques. You’ll navigate around a prominent rock, often finding schooling fish sheltering from the current. It’s a reliable spot for an easy-going second dive or for newer divers looking to build confidence in the area’s unique topography. We’ve found barracuda here on occasion, particularly in late summer.
