About Le Jack
Le Jack is a well-preserved trawler wreck off Palavas-les-Flots, with a net still wrapped around the upper structure and holds that shelter conger eels, lobsters, anthias, mostelles, and pout. It is a proper wreck dive rather than a casual sightseeing stop, best handled by experienced divers when the sea is calm and the boat run is comfortable.
