This dive site is the Port-Cros National Park, a pioneering marine national park in Europe, established in December 1963. Spanning an area of 700 hectares on land and 1300 hectares underwater, it serves as a vital ecological reserve representing much of the Mediterranean's diverse terrestrial and marine life. Diving opportunities within the park are renowned for their exceptional quality and abundance. Access is restricted to those adhering to a code of conduct. The Aventure Bleue dive center has been a partner with the park since its inception, offering access to these remarkable underwater environments. These sites provide an unparalleled experience for divers.
