La Sèche L’Huile

★★★★☆ (441)

Near St. Maxime, this dive site is located near a lighthouse that used to be powered by an oil lamp (hence the name). An excellent site for all levels of divers (from 4m to 50m). You'll see two cliffs: one up to 40m and the other up to 55m.

Fauna and flora include typical Mediterranean species such as carbon, scorpion fish, conger eel and lobster. There is also a vast area of sand and posidonia at around 12-20 meters.
