Diving La Calanque du Montrémiant

Site Overview

La Calanque du Montrémiant is a wall and reef dive site in French Riviera – Côte d’Azur, France, reached from the base town of Hyères. La Calanque du Montrémiant is a quiet cove on the Port-Cros archipelago with a rocky wall falling to 35 m. Red gorgonians and groupers hold on the wall while amberjacks cruise the blue above the cove. The site reaches a maximum depth of 35 m with an average profile around 22 m and a shallow start near 10 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 35 metres, the current is moderate, and the water temperature ranges between 14 and 25 degrees Celsius with low surge exposure. The marine community is centred on Dusky Grouper, Common Barracuda, Red Gorgonian, Mediterranean Moray, Amberjack, Two-banded Seabream, and the full species list is detailed below for divers planning a trip. La Calanque du Montrémiant 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.
