About Boulegeades

Boulegeades is a classic Riou boat dive in Marseille with a shallow cove option, rocky tongues, an arch, and a more adventurous cave-and-wall line. It suits divers who want a flexible Mediterranean profile, solid buoyancy control, and a route that changes with wind, current, and how much time they want to spend in the cove.
