About Cap de Nice 2
Cap de Nice 2 is a boat-access coastal site off Nice with two ledges and a gentle middle slope, so it works as a relaxed scenic run when the sea is calm. The profile mixes easy topography with a stronger wall feel at the edges, and night dives are especially attractive because the Mediterranean life stands out along the drop-offs. Moray eels, octopus, frogfish, dentex, amberjack, bonito, and barracudas give the site a classic Nice profile without turning it into a hard technical dive.
