About ville de grasse
Ville de Grasse is a deep Mediterranean steamship wreck in the Hyeres wreck zone, known for its twin paddle wheels, engine, boiler, and transmission. Most of the hull is broken or buried, so the dive is about reading the surviving machinery rather than swimming a long intact wreck. Plan it as an advanced boat dive with a careful current check, because the pass can run and summer boat traffic is heavy. The site is more about structure and history than abundant marine life.
