About Piton
Piton is a boat-accessed Antibes pinnacle south of La Fourmigue, with a deep start that drops onto a steep slope and suits experienced divers. The site is known for gorgonian forests and a classic Mediterranean mix of groupers, denties, wrasse, and other rock-loving life. It is the kind of dive that rewards good buoyancy, steady trim, and a plan that respects the local tide and weather.

Scuba Diving
A steep rocky pinnacle with gorgonian growth and a deep profile that runs well past the peak, so buoyancy and trim matter throughout the dive.

Not a freedive target; the site starts deep and suits scuba with good buoyancy and current awareness.
Snorkeling
