About This Dive Spot
Calanque de Pouars Plane, also referred to as Pouars or Port de Plane, is a sheltered cove that resembles a small harbor. The left-hand rock can be accessed only during calm sea conditions, leading to a small tunnel located outside the cove at depths between 4 and 8 meters. Beyond the tunnel, divers can explore two rocky peaks at approximately 12 meters and a ridge that descends to 20 meters, reaching a maximum depth of 35 meters. The marine life in this area includes sea bream, dentex, schools of sars, mullets, moray eels, and occasional groupers. Under the rocks, divers may encounter mostelles, scorpion fish, and capons.
