Book a guided charter rather than diving independently here: local guides know which sections carry the highest entanglement risk and can position the boat to use any current to your advantage rather than against you. Bring a surface marker buoy and deploy it on ascent, as boat traffic in this stretch of the Riviera coast is active.
Most dives are run as boat dives from nearby ports including Agay, Saint-Raphaël, and Théoule.
