Goul du Pont is a technical cave dive located in the Marseille and Calanques region of France. The site features a shore entry leading into an overhead environment that descends from 10 metres to depths of 180 metres. Visibility typically ranges between 10 and 30 metres, though conditions can shift within the cave. Due to the extreme depths and overhead nature of the site, it is strictly for technical divers requiring decompression protocols and advanced gas management. The environment supports various freshwater fish and invertebrates typical of the region. Divers should be prepared for nitrogen narcosis and ensure all equipment is configured for technical cave entry.
