Dive Spot Guide•
La Pointe
Rocky Palavas point with cavities, macro life, and a short boat ride.
Short boat access from Palavas, moderate visibility, and small cavities make this a compact exploration dive rather than a wide-open wall run.
About La Pointe
La Pointe is a short boat ride from Palavas to a rocky point with loose blocks, cracks, holes, and small cavities. The shallow plateau makes an easy start, then the point tightens into a compact exploration dive where a torch helps you look into the darker recesses. It suits divers who like close-up structure and macro hunting more than long swims. Expect nudibranchs, octopus, conger eels, and other small Mediterranean fish around the rock.
