Cap d'Antibes boat dive with a rocky pinnacle and wall.
Le Boule is a Cap d’Antibes boat dive built around a rocky pinnacle that falls into a long wall and canyon system. It rewards controlled, planned profiles with rich Mediterranean life on the rock and in the gullies, but summer boat traffic can make the site hard to use, so the better window is outside the busiest summer period.

Scuba Diving
Depth ranges from very shallow rock top (under 2 m) to a drop reaching about 43 m.
Freediving
Only the shallow rock top is useful, and boat traffic makes it a poor casual freedive target.
Snorkeling
Not a casual snorkel site; the action is deeper on the wall and in the canyons, so scuba is the right fit.
