Saliba is a rugged west-coast boat dive off Saint-Gilles-les-Bains with coral-covered rock, coarse sand, and small drop-offs that give the dive more structure than a flat reef. The sand-and-rock transitions hold clownfish, snappers, stingrays, and other reef life. It is best treated as a boat dive for certified divers who are comfortable with a deeper profile.
