Dive-site story
Situated along the strict nature reserve of Îlot de Bagaud in Port-Cros National Park, this site features a wide inclined rocky slab that steps down into coralligenous boulders and Posidonia seagrass beds. Because of decades of strict marine park protection, fish populations here display exceptionally relaxed behavior around divers.
Protected marine park waters harboring dense schools of Mediterranean fauna
Expansive rocky slab sheltering dusky groupers in crevices and overhangs
Patches of red and yellow gorgonian seafans on the deeper rocky steps
Location
