About La Barge de Carnon
La Barge de Carnon is a shallow wreck off Carnon, reached by a short boat ride from Palavas-les-Flots. Resting on sand, it is a straightforward beginner-friendly dive with a clean wreck profile, easy orientation, and plenty of small life for close inspection and photography when the sea is settled. It suits relaxed scuba rather than a rushed swim-through, and the open profile makes it a good choice for photographers on calm days.
