About L’île aux Mouettes
Off Sainte-Maxime, L’île aux Mouettes is a guided boat dive on a compact rocky sec with a shallow crest, small cave-like cuts and a deeper outer edge. The site suits confident intermediate divers who want a varied terrain dive with careful buoyancy and a relaxed pace rather than a long drift. Mediterranean life is the draw here, with groupers, barracuda, moray eels and other fish working the rock.
