Dive Sites
The Bay of Golfe Juan is host to three main groups of dive sites: La Fourmigue, Les Îles de Lerins and Le Cap d’Antibes.
La Fourmigue
An extensive rock formation in the middle of the bay of Golfe Juan marked by a large isolated danger mark, offering multiple dive options:
• The Village – an “underwater valley” at 15m with an artificial village built in the 1960s.
• L’Enfer de Dante – dramatic pinnacles dropping to 55m+, rich in gorgonians, soft corals, and schooling fish.
• La Grotte de Miro – a cave at 18m with three exits, colourful sponges, corals, and abundant macro life (nudibranchs, blennies, scorpionfish).
Cap d'Antibes
Several sites for all abilities, including:
• Rascoui
• Le Grand Boule
• La Lauve
• La Seiche St Pierre
• Calafate
• Raventurier
• Arenas
Îles de Lérins
Around the islands of Sainte Marguerite and Saint Honorat, highlights include:
• Le Tombant du Vengeur
• La Tradelière
• La Petite Françoise
• Bilitis
• Le Petit et Grand Batéguier
These are mainly wall dives from shallow 4m shelves to deeper walls and pinnacles beyond 40m.

Reviews
“Alex is a wonderful guide. I'm still fairly new to diving and it had been over six months since my last dive, so I was a little nervous and he totally put me at ease and helped me whenever I needed and was quite patient. Very knowledgeable, easy-going and a happy person to dive with! Highly recommended.”

“I have been diving with Alex at Diamond Diving for nearly 15 years now and have nothing but good things to say. Recently I trusted Alex with my son's first discover scuba dives and was very impressed with the experience from start to finish. Alex is calm, reassuring and keeps everyone smiling throughout the experience. Recommend!”

(...) Thank you for a wonderful time and making the trip that much more amazing.”
