Refer to map SHOM no 7200 S.
1. TRIMIX divers: This is one of the deepest dives from Nice, one especially recommended for experienced Trimix divers, as this wall really starts at 50m until approximately 110m!
!! PLAN YOUR DIVE !!
2. AIR divers: will prefer the so-called "Tombant Marterlinck", which is very close to this one and in the reasonable 22-40m depth range.
For more informations, refer to the following book:
"Plongees en Mediterannee, Cote d'Azur", p.39. Editions "Gilletta/Nice-Matin", ISBN: 2-903574-79-0.
From Nice harbour, preferably by boat.
From Nice, walking from the shore: NOT recommended due to the long distance, and the need to carry enough air/trimix (twin-set prefered) for diving that deep dive.
It is very close from the "Tombant Marterlinck" more appropriate for air diving.
