Expert B-26 Marauder wreck dive off the Brusc coast.
Expert B-26 Marauder wreck dive off the Brusc coast.
Access is typically arranged through local dive operations in the Brusc and Embiez area.
A deep Mediterranean wreck dive off the Brusc coast near Six-Fours-les-Plages, centered on a B-26 Marauder bomber resting in broken sections over sand and posidonia. Divers move between the larger fragments instead of following a single intact hull, so the site feels fragmented and deliberate rather than scenic in one pass. It is an expert-level boat dive that rewards careful gas planning, disciplined depth control, and a slow, methodical approach.
Safety Notes
Depth discipline and gas planning matter more than sightseeing speed. Treat the wreck as an expert-level boat dive with conservative margins.
Access Restrictions
Guided boat wreck diving only; not a casual shore entry and not suited to inexperienced divers.
Legal Notes
Follow local wreck-diving rules and avoid disturbing artifacts or structure.
