The island's underwater slopes descend to 50 meters and beyond, offering advanced divers spectacular wall dives with massive gorgonian fans, dense fish populations, and exceptional visibility. The area around Planier is famous for its concentration of historic wrecks including cargo ships, wartime vessels, and aircraft scattered on the seabed. As a major landmark for Marseille-based dive centers, Planier provides world-class diving combining dramatic underwater topography, rich marine biodiversity under the Calanques National Park influence, and fascinating maritime history.
