About Balise des Magnons Est
Balise des Magnons Est is a compact Mediterranean sec near Sanary-sur-Mer, built around broken rock, cracks, and a pottery-strewn seabed that earned the Dry Amphorae nickname. The route is shallow enough for relaxed exploration but still feels structured and tactile, with groupers, barracuda, bream, and dentex moving through the walls and gaps. It is best for controlled scuba dives in settled water.

Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight around the rock and do not force narrow gaps when the water is moving.
Access Restrictions
