About Cap jarront
Cap jarront is a boat-based Mediterranean dive off the Riou and Jarre side of the Marseille archipelago, with a rocky canyon and blocky terrain that reward slow exploration. It is best when the sea is calm enough for a straightforward crossing and a relaxed entry. Divers come for clear water, moderate currents, and a mix of Mediterranean fish and rock life around the canyon and sheltered blocks.
