Cap Martin wall dive with a shallow plateau
Cap Martin wall dive with a shallow plateau
Usually run by Cap Martin and Menton boat operators using ecological moorings.
tombant de la roche percée is a Cap Martin wall dive with a shallow rocky plateau and a clean drop-off beyond it, so the route reads naturally from a simple start into deeper relief. The boat uses ecological moorings, which keeps the entry straightforward and the site feeling low-impact. Expect a relaxed Mediterranean profile with fish around the wall rather than a coral-led reef, and calm-weather sessions can also suit freediving or snorkeling.
