Le Boulet is a technical dive site located in Calanques National Park, offering a complex topography of reef, wall, and cave structures. Reaching depths between 35 and 43 metres, the site requires boat access and is suited for intermediate divers with deep-dive or overhead-environment training. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres, allowing for clear views of the drop-off. Divers should be prepared for moderate currents and cold water temperatures, which fluctuate between 13C and 19C throughout the year. Due to the significant depth and overhead cave sections, careful monitoring of dive computers and thermal protection are essential for a safe experience.
