Les Tables consists of volcanic formations from the ancient Mont Saint-Loup volcano. These formations create a landscape of drop-offs and canyons suitable for all levels.
L'Etang de Thau offers a rich lagoon ecosystem known for its oyster farming and diverse subaquatic life. It is characterized by a plateau environment.
Le Roc de Marseillan is a rocky site located offshore. Due to the more demanding conditions, it is best suited for experienced divers.
