About Banc provencal
Banc provencal is a rocky offshore site off Golfe de Lava, shaped by two heads split by a deep crack and surrounded by mixed bottom relief, seagrass, and coralligenous life. It is a boat dive for confirmed divers who want a classic Mediterranean big-relief profile, strong current, and a long, deliberate look at the structure and wildlife. Plan it as a guided offshore day rather than a casual local hop.
