    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Roche Percée is a solid choice when you're diving out of Marseille, particularly if you're still building confidence in deeper water. The wall itself drops down to a comfortable 26 metres, making it an easy drift for beginners without feeling too shallow. We usually spot plenty of scorpionfish tucked into the crevices and often see schooling damselfish out in the blue. It's a relaxed, enjoyable dive, perfect for a slow afternoon.
