Short boat run, rocky plateau, limited visibility, and a search-style dive built around cavities rather than big scenery.

About Les Moures

Les Moures is a short boat dive off the Palavas coast with a rocky plateau and cavity-rich bottom that rewards slow, careful exploration. It is best for divers who enjoy searching ledges and holes for small life rather than cruising a broad open reef. Look for conger eels, lobsters, comatulas, and nudibranchs tucked into the crevices, and carry a torch so you can check the darker recesses.
