Multi-level Golfe Juan rock dive with shallow routes.
Multi-level Golfe Juan rock dive with shallow routes.
La Fourmigue is a multi-level rock dive off Golfe Juan, with the best-known shallow route running close to the surface around the lighthouse and its sinuous rock formations. The site is beginner-friendly on that upper section, but the wider Fourmigue complex also links into deeper routes that are better left to more experienced divers. Expect a boat dive, clear Mediterranean water when conditions are kind, and a tidal stream that can turn some runs into a drift.

Safety Notes
Use a local guide, keep an eye on the tidal stream, and stay conservative if the route starts to drift.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Follow the shallow rock top around the lighthouse for the beginner route, or link deeper options only if your guide and certification make that appropriate.
Freediving
Only the shallow rock top is relevant for breath-hold diving; the site is primarily a scuba route.
Snorkeling
The shallowest rock sections can be interesting in calm water, but this is mainly a scuba site.
