Calanques et îles marseillaises - Cap Canaille et massif du Grand Caunet
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) - Tombant de Castel Vieil offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest wall diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Tombant de Castel Vieil offers a deep wall dive in the Calanques. We’ve found the drop-off can be quite impressive, descending past 40 meters in places. It’s a site for divers comfortable with depth and navigating along a vertical reef, keeping an eye out for gorgonians and occasional pelagics in the blue. Keep an eye on your bottom time here; it’s easy to get absorbed.
