Ancre de Callelongue: easy shore anchor dive
Ancre de Callelongue is a shore dive from the small port of Callelongue inside the Calanques National Park, centered on a shallow anchor site just outside the cove. It is easy to read and suitable for all levels, with the real interest coming from the anchor, the rocky setting, and the Mediterranean fish that gather there. Conditions can vary, so it is worth checking visibility and any light current before dropping in.
