About this dive site
This dive site, Île des Eyglaudes, consists of two isolated rocks west of the Frioul Islands near Marseille, France. Navigating underwater is straightforward, with shallow rocky drop-offs providing a clear path. The site's history is likely tied to the broader maritime history of the region, though specific details may require further research. The underwater topography is relatively simple, making it suitable for divers of all levels.
Marine life here is typical of the Mediterranean. Divers can expect to see groupers and sars, along with a variety of smaller fish and invertebrates inhabiting the rocky areas and gorgonians. The shallow drop-offs provide opportunities for observing both small and larger creatures.
The best time to visit Île des Eyglaudes is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer) when water visibility is typically best and marine life is more active. For both divers and freedivers, the shallow depths and generally calm conditions make this a relatively easy and enjoyable dive. However, it's always prudent to check weather and current forecasts before heading out.
