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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.

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).

Cap Gros offers a variety of dives. From two to thirty metres, passing through posidonia, rocks with drop-offs, to finish on the corralligenous...

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.

At a maximum depth of 36 meters and a minimum depth of 26 meters, you'll discover numerous purple gorgonians. This site requires a minimum PE40 or Deep Diving level.
