About Barge aux congres
Barge aux congres is a small wreck off Bagaud in Port-Cros National Park, known for a compact circuit rather than a long swim. The barge lies flat on sand, so the interest is in the structure and the fish sheltering underneath. It is a boat dive for advanced divers, with depth and current making the descent and timing the real challenge. Conger eels and morays are the usual draw when the water is settled.
