Le Sec de la Daurade, off the coast of Collioure, is a popular dive site for its varied underwater features and biodiversity. Accessible to intermediate to advanced divers, the site lies at depths of between 10 and 25 meters.

This site, north of Port-Vendres, is sheltered from the south wind and the Tramontane. Accessible to all levels, you'll find nudibranchs, white gorgonians and lobsters through the faults and coralligenous (18 to 20m).

At the foot of the Commandos training center in Collioure, the relief is very pronounced. Faults, overhangs, cavities and rocky outcrops generate currents that encourage fish of all sizes to congregate.

This site just outside Port-Vendres is very popular with N1 divers. It allows them to dive a wreck, an arch and rocky faults all in the same dive.

The atmosphere is ghostly, as the wreck lies on its keel off Port-Vendres in 45m of water. The stern, lying on its side, is separated from the rest of the ship. The emergency propeller is still clearly visible near the aft cargo mast on the port side.

Sunk some 300 meters from the Saumur, the Étoile du Nord rests on a 38-meter seabed tilted to port. It's an easy-to-decipher wreck, which can be seen in its entirety in a single dive.

Also known as La Llose, it lies just behind Cap Béar, off the coast of the Bay of Paulilles, where you can discover a varied landscape of boulders, faults, overhangs and caves. If you're looking for lobster hotels, this is the place!

The wreck lies at a depth of 44m, and it’s possible to dive around the castle and discover the galley. The front of the castle marks the break-up of the ship, and by following the wreckage you can reach the bow, where the anchors are still in place.

Just a ten-minute sail from Argelès-sur-Mer, "Les grottes des contrebandiers" lie at the foot of the mythical Cap Béar lighthouse. This dive is accessible to all levels. The site's topography is made up of rocks and large coralligenous canyons.

The Cap BEAR site is a sheltered site when there is a tramontana wind, 50 minutes from BARCARES, it allows you to discover the bottom of the VERMEILLE coast in strong winds, with a bottom made up of small drop-offs, faults and coralligenous patates ranging from 5 to 26 metres deep, ideal for walking.
