Historic tugwreck, best as a boat dive.
A local boat operator is the practical way to reach the wreck and time the run around the weather window.
La Mona is a compact upright tugwreck off Six-Fours-les-Plages, reached by boat from the local coast and usually handled as a calm-weather outing with nearby operator support. The wreck sits on sandy bottom, is small enough to tour in a single circuit, and rewards controlled scuba with clear structure, easy photo lines, and steady Mediterranean wreck life. Divers should plan it as a deeper wreck dive rather than a casual sightseeing stop.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Good buoyancy and wreck-diving control help here; the hull is small enough to tour without long swims.

Not a practical freedive target because the wreck sits too deep for ordinary breath-hold diving.
