Villefranche-sur-Mer's shore dive starts from the old port and follows a rocky reef to a small cave system at 12 meters — a Mediterranean classic for beginners with octopus, moray eels, and nudibranchs in warm, sheltered water. The Oceanographic Observatory above the dive site has studied these waters since 1882.

Sign InGreat spot for advanced divers. Currents can be tricky but the marine life makes it worth it.
One of the best dive sites in the region. Highly recommended.
