Baume des Anges is a technical shore-entry cave and canyon system located on the French Riviera. The site features depths ranging from 5 to 50 metres, requiring advanced cave certification and technical training due to the complex overhead environment. Divers can expect visibility between 10 and 30 metres. Conditions include cold water temperatures of 11°C and the potential for strong currents. Given the deep, confined nature of the passages, full redundancy, strict gas management, and appropriate thermal protection are essential. Parking is available at the site for gear staging. Divers should carry at least one redundant light source and plan turns conservatively to manage the risks associated with this overhead environment.
