About this dive site

This dive site, La Vaquette, is located in the Théoule marine park and offers a diverse underwater experience suitable for divers of all skill levels. The site's relatively shallow maximum depth of 18 meters makes it accessible to beginners, while the presence of deeper areas extending beyond 40 meters allows for exploration by more experienced divers. The site's topography is likely varied, perhaps offering rocky outcrops and crevices to explore.

The rich flora and fauna of the Mediterranean are showcased at La Vaquette. Divers can expect to see shoals of castagnoles (Mediterranean rainbow wrasse) in shallower areas, transitioning to deeper encounters with groupers and other species typical of the region. A variety of other fish, invertebrates, and potentially some types of coral will also be visible.

The best time to visit La Vaquette is likely during the warmer months (spring to autumn) when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally higher. Divers should check local conditions and weather reports before heading out. Freedivers should be aware of their depth limits and potential for mild currents, while divers should follow standard safety procedures. Remember to practice responsible diving and respect the marine environment.
