About Le Donator
Le Donator is a legendary Mediterranean wreck off Hyeres, upright on a sandy bottom between Porquerolles and Port-Cros. Its hull, superstructure, passageways, and engine spaces make it a classic overhead wreck, while strong current and boat access shape the plan from the start. Experienced divers come for the dense gorgonians, sponges, and heavy fish life, and calmer windows are easier for managing the descent, bottom time, and ascent.
