About Wildcat, wreck
Deep boat wreck off Le Lavandou in the French Mediterranean, known as the Wildcat. The aircraft rests upside down on a sandy bottom near Fourmigue, making it a classic big-structure dive that rewards careful buoyancy, gas planning, and a deliberate descent. Local clubs treat it as a serious wreck for experienced divers, with the appeal coming from the plane's intact silhouette, clear-water viewing, and the chance to study a rare aircraft wreck at depth.

Scuba Diving
This is a serious deep wreck for experienced divers. Plan gas, narcosis, and ascent margins conservatively and treat the descent as part of the dive rather than just transit to the wreck.
Freediving
Not a freedive site; the depth and certification requirement make it a scuba-only wreck.

Not a snorkel site because the attraction sits at deep wreck depth and requires scuba-level planning.
