Fish-rich Leucate artificial reef with easy boat access.
Les Amas de Leucate is a fish-rich artificial reef off Leucate, reached by a short boat trip and built from concrete culverts and rock piles that create sheltered habitat. The dive is shallow and easy to read, with weak current, plenty of structure, and a steady mix of octopus, cuttlefish, eels, and reef fish that make it a relaxed fish-watching boat dive.
