M109: shallow rock dive with gorgonian walls
M109 is a shallow boat-served rock off Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone with a central fault, gorgonian cover, and a compact relief profile that keeps the dive interesting without turning it into a deep excursion. It suits calm-weather Mediterranean days, local dive-center logistics, and careful looking along the ledges and broken rock.
