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.

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