    The St Didier, or what we strongly suspect is the St Didier, offers a proper historical dive in Kas. This steamship, built in 1920, met its end in 1941, bombed by British aircraft. She’s a big girl, almost 100 metres long, and lies broken but still impressive at a maximum depth of 15 metres. You’ll spend your dive exploring sections of hull, engine room machinery, and twisted metal that now serve as apartment blocks for Mediterranean groupers and schools of damselfish. It’s a compelling site, steeped in wartime history, and perfect for wreck enthusiasts who enjoy a shallower, longer bottom time to really soak it all in.
