Grotte arc en ciel
★★★★★
(135)
The Grotte Arc-en-Ciel, located off the coast of Marseille, is an exceptional diving site accessible to intermediate to advanced divers. This underwater cave, located at a depth of between 7 and 15 metres, owes its name to the spectacular play of light created by the sun’s penetrating rays.
The wildlife is abundant, with colourful gorgonians, lobsters and schools of sars offering a fascinating spectacle.
