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 Ratonneau offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Tombant de Ratonneau offers a straightforward wall dive, dropping away from Ratonneau island. We’ve found plenty of small stuff tucked into the crevices, nudibranchs are usually around if you look carefully. It’s a reliable spot for a second dive or if you’re looking for a relaxed exploration rather than dramatic topography. Good for divers who appreciate macro life and a less strenuous current.
