Put on your fins, mask, and snorkel, and let yourself be guided by enthusiasts of the Mediterranean Sea and its treasures.

A simple and easy exploration of the coastal underwater flora and fauna beneath the Calanque de la Pierre Percée, an iconic site of the Frioul Islands.

A unique opportunity to explore the harbor of Marseille, its islands, and its calanques by boat. You’ll be amazed as soon as you leave the famous Old Port of Marseille.

For this activity, you’ll be guided by a state-certified instructor, who will provide you with key information for observing the underwater world and discovering the richness of marine life—from underwater cliffs to expanses of white sand, including Posidonia seagrass, sea urchins, and starfish… A healthy activity in a preserved environment. Depending on the weather, we may change the location of the activity, but it will always take place in a similar setting.
