This dive site, known as Océanie, is a 35-meter long former trawler, resting upright on a sandy seabed at a maximum depth of 28 meters, with its deck at 22 meters. An impressive mast rises 14 meters from the deck, offering a striking visual. Despite its age, the wreck is in good condition, adorned with numerous marine accretions that add to its character. Divers can explore the main structure and even venture into a slightly narrow cabin, offering a unique swim-through experience.
This "fishy wreck" is teeming with a variety of local marine life. Common sightings include badèche, groupers, and red carp, which often school around the structure. The wreck also serves as a habitat for smaller fascinating creatures such as crabs and colorful blennies, making it a great spot for macro photography.
The Océanie wreck offers an enjoyable experience for divers of various levels. While the main wreck is accessible to intermediate divers, those with good buoyancy control can explore the narrow cabin. The site provides excellent opportunities for both wide-angle shots of the wreck structure and close-up photography of its diverse inhabitants. Specific best times to visit are not provided, but generally, calmer sea conditions enhance the diving experience.
