Diving Les Tables

Site Overview

Les Tables is a reef and meadow dive site in Languedoc-Roussillon, France, reached from the base town of Cap d’Agde. Les Tables is a very shallow rocky reef and meadow off Cap d’Agde, ideal for training and first dives. Seabream, octopus and cuttlefish live among the rocks and the edge of the seagrass. The site reaches a maximum depth of 20 m with an average profile around 12 m and a shallow start near 4 m, which places it firmly in the beginner category and means divers should hold at least an Open Water certification. Conditions are typical of the French coastal coast: visibility generally runs from 10 to 24 metres, the current is mild, and the water temperature ranges between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius with low surge exposure. The marine community is centred on Two-banded Seabream, Common Octopus, Common Cuttlefish, Mediterranean Cardinalfish, Mediterranean Moray, Common Barracuda, and the full species list is detailed below for divers planning a trip. Les Tables is a strong representative of why Languedoc-Roussillon 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 Languedoc-Roussillon 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.
