La Gabinière Ouest

The sec de la Gabinière, located in the Port-Cros National Park, is a dive site renowned for its exceptional marine life and spectacular encounters.

A well-marked drop-off on the eastern side of the Gabinière islet offers surprising perspectives of relief and a sensation of overflight that is always appreciated, especially when the current is present!

Ile de la Gabinière is located to the south-east of Port-Cros. The site is slightly protected from the Mistral, but very exposed to the easterly wind. Drift diving with a magnificent drop-off from 0 to 50 m.

Located southeast of Port-Cros, Pointe de la Croix has a topography similar to Pointe de Montrémian, i.e. a long rocky stop a few meters high, surrounded by posidonia.

To the south-east of the island of Port-Cros, Pointe du Vaisseau is a dive that closely resembles La Gabinière in terms of both flora and fauna. However, unlike Gabinière Est or Sec de la Gabinière, there is much less current.

At the north-eastern tip of Port-Cros island, Pointe de la Galère is one of the most beautiful dives in the National Park. The dive takes place along a rocky point that descends to 34°.

Rocky ridges composed of flat rocks surrounded by posidonia. One rock with a round hole is nicknamed "L'oeil de Bagaud" (Bagaud's eye). Maritime traffic in the pass is intense.

From 0 to 34 m, with its famous "ski slope" for the impressive 45° sandy slope that characterizes it, this dive site is located to the north-west of the island of Bagaud, one of the smallest of the Hyères islands, in the heart of the Port-Cros National Park.

It is a difficult dive both because of its depth and because there is often a strong current at the site. Its small size makes it difficult to locate, the wreck is of no interest and there is no particular fascination in seeing it for the first time.

Located between Porquerolles and Port Cros. Head of rock at 18 meters, average depth of 40 meters. Life abounds here, both in terms of flora and fauna. The variety of species found here is considerable, and it's not uncommon to come across pelagic fish, lichen or tuna.
