About Calanque de Pouars Plane
Calanque de Pouars Plane is a sheltered Marseille cove that feels like a tiny harbor. A tunnel on the left-hand rock leads outside the cove, but only on calm seas, and the surrounding rock offers a compact Mediterranean dive with rocky peaks, a ridge, and a mix of moray eels, groupers, and scorpionfish. It is a weather-sensitive site best treated as a short, careful dive rather than a big-open-water outing.
