Le Niedersachsen is a deep wreck located off Porquerolles Island, France, resting at depths between 100 and 110 metres. This site is strictly for advanced technical divers due to the extreme depth, which necessitates mandatory decompression stops and carries a significant risk of nitrogen narcosis. Visibility ranges from 10 to 30 metres, allowing for detailed observation of the structure. Access is by boat only, and divers should use a drysuit or high-grade wetsuit to manage water temperatures between 13 and 17 degrees Celsius. Species recorded around this area include various wrasses, scorpionfish, conger eels, and several species of nudibranchs and molluscs.
