About this dive site

This dive site, Le Vengeur 2, is an extension of the Vengeur drop-off, a significant underwater feature located a 40-minute boat ride from Golfe Juan. The dive starts on a plateau at 7 meters before descending to a maximum depth of 23 meters. The drop-off itself extends for hundreds of meters, offering a dramatic underwater landscape. The site's name likely references a historical shipwreck or geological formation in the area, although further historical research may be needed to confirm this.

The marine life is abundant and diverse, characteristic of the Mediterranean Sea. Divers can expect to encounter groupers, lobsters, slipper lobsters, barracuda, sea hares, and a variety of nudibranchs. The diverse ecosystem also supports numerous other fish species and invertebrate life, making it a rewarding site for both macro and wide-angle photography.

The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer) when water temperatures are more pleasant and visibility tends to be at its best. Divers should be aware of potential moderate currents, especially deeper along the drop-off. Freediving is suitable in shallower sections, while scuba diving allows exploration of the entire site. It's always recommended to check weather and sea conditions before embarking on any dive.
