Les Terrasses 1 is an artificial site located off the coast of Banyuls-sur-Mer, France. Reaching a maximum depth of 21 metres, the site consists of structures designed to create habitat on the seabed. Divers can explore these hard surfaces where octopuses, congers, galatheas, cicadas, sars, and mostelles are regularly encountered. Due to the variable nature of the water movement, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Access is strictly by boat, and conditions require careful monitoring as currents can run strong. Divers should confirm current conditions with their boat operator before entry and plan dives around slack water when possible.
