Shallow calanque shore dive with posidonia faults.
Calanque Andati is a shallow shore dive on a rocky calanque slope where posidonia faults, bright sand, and small cavities create a relaxed photo-friendly dive. It is a calm-day site more than a speed run, with the best experience coming from slow movement, good buoyancy, and time spent over the sand and cavity walls on the day.
