Fees · Destination Guide
Wrecks, red-rock reefs, and Riviera coves from Cavalaire to Saint-Raphael
Key fee: Municipal accommodation tourist tax
Variable local rate per eligible person per night
Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
There is no destination-wide diver tag or universal marine-park fee for ordinary local diving between Cavalaire and Saint-Raphael. Budget for the municipality's accommodation tourist tax and any operator-specific boat, equipment, gas, or technical surcharge. A dive into the marine core areas of Port-Cros National Park adds a separate authorization and rules process through CaPeL, normally coordinated by the professional center.
