Dive-site story
Les Magnons is a rocky plateau located off the Var coastline near the Embiez archipelago. The formation drops along fissured limestone walls and rocky steps onto a seabed of coarse sand and boulders. Divers explore deep corridors and overhangs lined with red gorgonians, where dusky groupers and moray eels shelter among the rocky crevices.
