Dive sites
A dive trip to Antibes Juan-les-Pins is organized around the bay of Golfe-Juan. This one shelters 3 large zones of diving, the Cap d'Antibes, the lighthouse of the Fourmigue, the islands of Lérins. Around the Cap d'Antibes, there are about ten dive sites with very varied topographies. La Lauve is rich in fauna with octopuses, cuttlefish, scorpionfish, and capons. The Rascoui is a plateau and a small drop-off sheltered from the east wind, where an artist had exhibited his statues. At the exit of the port of Golfe-Juan, a small wreck the Robuste II lies 25m away. Very numerous congers and morays with their cleaning shrimps. La Fourmigue is a lighthouse planted in the middle of the bay and resting on a large rocky base extending underwater for several hundred meters home to groupers and barracuda schools.
At the foot of the lighthouse, on the north side, is a miniature underwater village, 15 m deep, in the middle of a cirque of rocks. Composed of buildings 80 cm long. Built-in the late '60s for the making of the first underwater film. The village has been enlarged with a Roman amphitheater, a church, and bridges. Maintained and rebuilt regularly by local dive centers. Octopuses. To the south of the Fourmigue, there is a shoal in the shape of a volcano starting at 2m up to 18m. At the foot, the relief opens through caves with three entrances, the Cave of Miro. In the 1980s, a sculpture by the artist Miro was exhibited there. Following her thief, she was replaced by the bust of Commandant Yves le Prieur, inventor of the first modern regulator and co-founder of the first recreational diving center in 1938 in Saint Raphaël. Cave walls lined with colored sponges and yellow encrusting anemones, Parazoanthus axinellaes.
Ideal for macro photography with nudibranchs, small scorpionfish, and blennies. South of the Miro Cave, Dante's Hell is certainly the most beautiful dive of Antibes Juan-les-Pins bay. Spectacular topography of mountains and underwater valleys starting at 15 m and going down to 60 meters. Their slopes are covered with red gorgonians. We also go to the Lérins Islands in 20 minutes by boat. You visit the sites of Bilitis, the Tradelière, and the fall of the Avenger. Along with the drop-off, you enter a cave full of red coral. You will be surprised to see amberjacks, bonitoes, and seabreams. During sailing to get to the sites, you can see a Mola-mola.
