Dive Spot Guide•
La patate
La patate is a Palavas boat dive with a broad plateau and lots to scan.
Best for slow exploratory dives from a Palavas boat, with a broad plateau, multiple zones, and Mediterranean macro life.
About La patate
La patate is a broad Palavas boat dive built around a shallow plateau with multiple zones to work through. It rewards slow scanning more than a straight-line route, because the site is large enough that one pass rarely covers it all. Expect Mediterranean macro life such as octopus, conger eel, wrasse, nudibranchs, lobsters, Neptune's lace, and newts. Calm weather makes the boat day and bottom time easier to enjoy.
