ELEVINE EST is an easy Marseille buoy dive with rocky Mediterranean life.
ELEVINE EST is a Marseille Côte Bleue buoy dive on the Erevine side of the Riou area, built around a shallow-to-mid-depth rocky Mediterranean profile. It is an easy, accessible dive with wrasses, bream, blennies, serrans, and nudibranchs on the rocks and a calm buoy line when the sea is settled. The site is a straightforward Mediterranean rock dive rather than a deep wall or wreck.
