About Tombant du Bailly

Tombant du Bailly is a compact rocky ridge off Cavalaire with a broken, hole-punched profile between sandy bottoms. The site is valued for dense Mediterranean life in the cracks and along the relief, with groupers, moray eels, chapons, conger eels, lobsters, sea urchins, sea hares, and plenty of small fish. It suits divers who want a short, detailed tour rather than a wide open drift.
