Sheltered beginner dyke dive in Menton
La Digue is a sheltered beginner training site in Menton's Port de Garavan, where a sandy dyke and nearby harbor water create a straightforward place to practice first dives, buoyancy control, and basic equipment handling. The terrain is simple rather than dramatic, the entry is low-friction for local training, and the main planning considerations are modest visibility, light harbor movement, and ordinary port traffic.
