Local boat support is helpful for access, positioning, and depth control on a steep wall dive.
Pointe Moulalier is a boat-access drop-off off Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat near Nice, with a wall that starts at the surface and drops steeply to deep water. It is a depth-forward wall dive rather than a mellow reef, so trim and gas planning matter more than route complexity. The payoff is a lively Mediterranean profile with frequent pelagics, large groupers, and plenty of open-water fish around the wall.
