The Planier lighthouse

Planier island, off the coast of Marseille, is a popular dive site famous for its historic wrecks and the beauty of its underwater landscapes. This spot is a real playground for wreck enthusiasts. It is home to several unmissable relics, such as Le Chaouen (pictured here), a cargo ship that sank in 1970, Le Dalton, a former merchant ship wrecked in 1928, and a Messerschmitt BF-109, a Second World War fighter plane resting on a sandbank at a depth of 45 m.

Each of these wrecks has its own story and carries divers back through time, while providing a refuge for abundant marine life. They have become ecosystems in their own right.

Planier island is also a no-take zone, guaranteeing fully preserved underwater biodiversity. Known for its majestic drop-off, this site offers exceptional vistas and is particularly rich in fish.
