Diving Camaret-sur-Mer

Site Overview

Camaret-sur-Mer Walls is a wall and cave dive site in Brittany, France, reached from the base town of Camaret-sur-Mer. Camaret-sur-Mer sits on the Crozon peninsula, where the walls are cut by caves and overhangs full of life. Conger eels, lobsters and the occasional seal share the rock, and the current brings clear, cold water. The site reaches a maximum depth of 32 m with an average profile around 20 m and a shallow start near 8 m, which places it firmly in the advanced category and means divers should hold at least an Advanced Open Water certification. Conditions are typical of the French coastal coast: visibility generally runs from 12 to 24 metres, the current is strong, and the water temperature ranges between 11 and 17 degrees Celsius with high surge exposure. The marine community is centred on Conger Eel, European Lobster, Grey Seal, Cuckoo Wrasse, Pollock, Small-spotted Catshark, and the full species list is detailed below for divers planning a trip. Camaret-sur-Mer Walls is a strong representative of why Brittany diving is so highly regarded, blending the geology, history and biodiversity that define French underwater exploration. It pairs naturally with the other sites of the Brittany region for a varied holiday, and with the right thermal protection and, where relevant, the correct specialist training, it offers a memorable dive for photographers, naturalists and wreck or reef enthusiasts alike.
