Bilitis
Golfe Juan offshore reef with rock ridges and a wall.
Boat access and an unprotected profile make Bilitis best on calm days; the shallow ridge suits newer divers, while the drop-off suits stronger ones.
About Bilitis
Bilitis is a Golfe Juan offshore dive with shallow rock formations and a southern drop-off that gives the site two distinct personalities. The ridge is rich in red gorgonians and reef fish, while the deeper side brings groupers, barracudas, and moray eels into view. It is a boat dive that depends on calm seas, so the best days are the settled ones with good visibility.
