Boat dive below Cap Béar
Les contrebandiers is a boat dive just ten minutes from Argelès-sur-Mer, at the foot of Cap Béar lighthouse. The site is made up of rocks and large coralligenous canyons, creating a sheltered landscape with many natural refuges. Divers can expect nudibranchs, groupers, lobsters, and moray eels around a well-colonized substrate, and the dive is accessible to all levels.
