Le Boute is an Antibes rocky dive for experienced divers.
Le Boute is a compact Mediterranean rock-and-fissure dive off Antibes, built for experienced divers who enjoy exploring relief rather than covering distance. The site is all about the rocky seabed, short navigation lines, and pockets where anemones, gorgonians, and small reef life gather. It is best when the sea is settled and the dive is run with local boat support.
