La Pointe de la Croix

This diving site is located to the southeast of the island of Port-Cros. La Pointe de la Croix also has a diverse range of aquatic life and a variety of marine species. You'll notice the usual suspects, such as groupers, eels, and the like. The flora, namely the seaweed, is the most intriguing aspect of this diving site.

It's everywhere, and there's a lot of it. Isn't it nice to just lie down on the smooth sea bed and gaze up at the ocean's surface? While you explore the deep ends of this dive area, they are well supported by a large number of gorgonian lovers.

The morphology of the "Pointe de la Croix" is similar to that of the "Pointe de Montrèmian," a short rocky ridge bordered by Mediterranean tapeweed. You'll descend 30 meters along the main ridge to the beach before climbing back up.

A second ridge, about 50-70 meters west of the main one, runs parallel to it. A massive soft coral and sea sponge colony has taken over the area. You may see groupers, schools of sea bream, as well as wrasse, moray eel, and damselfish in La Pointe de la Croix. Be warned that the location is exposed to the east, and that surface and bottom currents are common.
