Diving Cap Camarat

Site Overview

Cap Camarat is a wall and reef dive site in French Riviera – Côte d’Azur, France, reached from the base town of Saint-Tropez. Cap Camarat is the eastern headland of the Saint-Tropez peninsula, a rock wall dropping from 12 m to 40 m into the open sea. Dentex, amberjacks and groupers patrol the wall, and the cape can carry a real current on the tide. The site reaches a maximum depth of 40 m with an average profile around 25 m and a shallow start near 12 m, which places it firmly in the intermediate 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 18 to 38 metres, the current is moderate, and the water temperature ranges between 14 and 25 degrees Celsius with moderate surge exposure. The marine community is centred on Dusky Grouper, Common Dentex, Amberjack, Common Barracuda, Mediterranean Moray, Red Gorgonian, and the full species list is detailed below for divers planning a trip. Cap Camarat is a strong representative of why French Riviera – Côte d’Azur 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 French Riviera – Côte d’Azur 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.
