Short boat crossings from Saint-Raphael are common, but east wind can close the site; shallower rock tops suit less advanced divers.
About Ile d'Or
Ile d'Or is a rocky Mediterranean dive off Cap Dramont, known for the island's ochre rock continuing underwater. The site mixes pinnacles, arches, and shallow rock tops with deeper outer sections, so route choice can match the group's level. Boat access from Saint-Raphael is standard, and east wind can shut the site down, so plan around the weather. Expect barracuda, groupers, moray eels, and scorpionfish around the relief.
