No destination-wide visitor levy or dedicated marine park dive tag was identified in the reviewed official and operator sources. Overnight guests can still owe a local French tourist tax, collected per person and night where applicable and varying by municipality and accommodation class. Water-activity prices are operator charges rather than public permits. Confirm exactly what a dive, course, rental, nitrox fill, guided snorkel, or boat trip includes before paying.
