Dive-site story
Le Rascoui is an isolated rocky reef situated in the waters of Golfe-Juan off the Cap d'Antibes coastline. The topography features a rocky plateau that drops off along fissures and boulders onto a mixed bottom of sand and seagrass meadows. Cavities throughout the rock provide shelter for resident Mediterranean fauna, while pelagic species frequently patrol the outer edge in open water.
Extensive rock fissures and swim-throughs sheltering nocturnal hunters
Thick Posidonia oceanica meadows surrounding the base of the reef
Frequent encounters with Mediterranean groupers and cruising barracuda
