About Le Vengeur
Le Vengeur is a boat-access drop-off off Île Sainte-Marguerite near Cannes. The site starts shallow, falls across a mixed rock-and-sand wall, and is known for rich biodiversity and nudibranch-heavy micro life. It suits divers who want a clear wall profile with a shallow top and a deeper run, and it is most comfortable in the summer window when visibility is at its best.

Scuba Diving
The shallow top is approachable, but the deeper wall is where you plan your profile more carefully.

Not a freedive-first site; the wall and deeper sections are better handled with scuba.

Snorkeling may only work on the shallowest part in very calm conditions; the site is mainly a scuba boat dive.
