About grotte à corail
Grotte à corail is the Île Maïre coral cave off Marseille, reached by boat into a sheltered calanque with open entrances and a gentle drop into the wall. The dive is a calm-weather cave-and-wall profile, with red coral on the ceiling, light-filled chambers, and a buoyancy-focused plan that favors careful exploring over penetration.
