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) - Wildcat offers some of Marseille & Calanques's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 14-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Wildcat, tucked away in the Calanques, gives you a classic Mediterranean wall dive. We often spot barracuda cruising by, and the occasional moray peeking from the rocks. It’s a straightforward dive, good for shaking off the rust or for newer divers looking for a relaxed exploration of the local seascape. Not overly dramatic, but consistently pleasant.
