About Le Petit Cap Roux
Le Petit Cap Roux is a protected Cap Roux reserve dive off Agay built around three rocky outcrops and a broad plateau that rewards exploratory diving. It is best approached by boat with local guidance, because the site sits in a reserve and the strongest dives come from following the rock lines, respecting the rules, and moving slowly through the abundant life. Calmer seas make the route feel especially clean, but the site still suits advanced divers who want structure, biodiversity, and a steady pace.
