Les 2 frères is a pair of offshore rock formations off Cap Sicié near La Seyne-sur-Mer. The dive follows boulders, scree, holes, and a modest drop-off, with a current-prone return zone around la piscine. In settled weather it offers classic Mediterranean rock diving, with gorgonians, red coral, and steady fish life for divers comfortable with changing water movement.
