Dive trip Saint-Tropez

Stay, Diving holidays in France, in Saint-Tropez

A mythical destination that oscillates between luxury and authenticity, Saint-Tropez is a town with two faces, with private parties in luxurious villas on the gulf and local life punctuated by the market where local fishermen sell their fish. A diving holiday in Saint-Tropez will also delight you with its surprisingly varied and rich seabed. The Gulf of St Tropez is home to a succession of small beaches and coves with crystal clear waters. This setting is ideal for blowing your first bubbles during your first scuba diving experience or for enhancing your lazy days with an exploration of the Rubis wreck.

Your diving holidays in St-Tropez allow you to access a large area from Sainte-Maxime thanks to the logistic support of the Ketos and H20 Saint-Maxime diving schools located in the harbour. Visit the Mio Palmo diving centre ideally located in Cogolin, on the edge of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Located on the Saint Tropez peninsula, along the beautiful sandy beach of Pampelonne, Cap Camarat Plongée is based in Ramatuelle in a holiday centre nestled in the pine forest, on the seafront. The European Diving School Saint-Tropez also operates in this area.

Located in the Kon Tiki campsite, groups can find suitable accommodation. From both centres, you can quickly reach the Rubis wreck. Cavalaire is a hub of diving centres with Eau Bleue, Eperlan and Mio Palmo Cavalaire. To the south of the Saint Tropez peninsula, off the Capes Lardier, Taillat and Camarat, protected marine areas have been established which provide a great playground for divers with many wrecks to explore.
Prepare your diving holidays in France with the tourist office of St-Tropez.

Dive sites

Very easy and quick to access, the best diving sites in Saint Tropez are off the Gulf with La Roche de Grégoire, L'Arche or the Sardinaux, and Anne Sud drop-offs. History buffs will be delighted, as diving in St Tropez also means discovering some of the most beautiful wrecks in the Mediterranean. Exploration of the wreck of the Relax, a 40 m steel boat, fitted out for yachting and charter and which had initially sunk in freshwater. Then it was submerged in 1980 off the cemetery of Saint-Tropez, on a 35m deep bottom. Full and intact wreck, with a stern equipped with its stainless steel rudder and propeller. To see lionfish and capons, schools of seabreams.

Towards Cape Camarat, we reach the Tell wreck, 77 m long and 10 m wide. The Tell ran aground in 1913, and as it hindered the passage of ships, the administration shot it with a cannon to break it up, sunk it, and scattered it on a rocky bottom. The Rubis wreck, a submarine 66 m long and 8 m wide, was laying mines. Thirty minutes sailing from Saint Tropez. Discarded, it was sunk voluntarily in 1958. Set straight on a sandy bottom. Divers from all over Europe come to explore this wreck. The current being quite established this dive spot is reserved for experienced divers.The Poursuivante wreck, an 81 m long torpedo boat, broke into two pieces and sank in 55 m of water following a tow to Savona in 1947. One of the two parts is upright on the bottom; the other is upside down.

Finally, even further south, towards Cape Taillat, we reach the wreck Trafik, a 35-meter long mixed-boat freighter, laid flat on a 60-meter bottom. The origin of the wreckage is a mystery: the absence of a shaft and propeller has been observed. The wreck is located close to a falling drop-off at 80 m, where the currents are powerful. Further south, towards Cape Lardier, you can explore some of the most beautiful dive sites in the Mediterranean: the Quairolles Rocks, the wreck of the Prophet, and the Tooth of the Shark. Wrecks are as much a part of France's heritage as monuments, with their history often embedded in a historical past
