Shallow wreck trail in Porquerolles with posidonia and easy access.
Le Cimentier is a shallow wreck trail in Porquerolles with posidonia meadows, rocky patches, and a buoyed self-guided route that works well for swimmers, snorkellers, and beginner divers. The site is a gentle introduction to wreck exploration, but the shallow trail should stay close to the surface because the deeper structure is limited and the emphasis is on easy close-in discovery.
