About Le souquet
Le souquet is a boat-access Planier site off Marseille with a shallow high point, a rocky wall, and dense Mediterranean life along the drop-off. It is a good-weather dive that rewards a controlled descent and a slow traverse rather than a casual drift. Expect classic rocky seabed scenery, bigger fish, and a site that suits intermediate divers more than beginners.
