Blue Coast calanque with a scenic wall dive.
Mejean is a Blue Coast calanque with a small harbor, a sheltered cove, and a steep limestone wall that drops away from the rocky shoreline. The site works well for relaxed guided dives that start in the cove and then follow the drop-off or cave edges. A simple out-and-back line keeps the plan easy to manage, while the steep roads and limited parking mean it pays to arrive early and plan around seasonal access windows.

Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Treat the wall and cave edges carefully, keep an eye on surge on the drop-off, and plan the entry around seasonal parking rules.
Access Restrictions
Summer vehicle access is restricted, and parking at the end of the calanque is limited.
Legal Notes
Use the public access windows and the small visitor parking area; the roads into the calanque are steep and tightly managed in season.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Good for wall dives and shallow-to-deeper exploration; the cave and drop-off reward slow, controlled buoyancy.
Freediving
The sheltered cove and shallow wall shoulders can work for freediving in calm water, but the main attraction is the wall.
Snorkeling
The shallow cove and port side are snorkel-friendly in calm conditions, with the clearest structure at the edge of the drop-off.
