La Vaquette is a buoyed marine-park rock site in Théoule.
La Vaquette is a Théoule marine-park rock site with a broad depth range and a buoyed drop-off, making it useful for first dives, training, and more advanced exploration. Castagnoles gather near the top of the rock while groupers and other Mediterranean life appear deeper down, so the site feels lively without being coral-heavy. It is best treated as a buoyed boat dive rather than an easy shore stroll.
