Great canyons ! DO NOT ENTER THE FORBIDDEN AREA OF THE MARINE PARK This site is located only 100m N from the forbidden part of the marine park.
Great site with a lot of fishs near the surface (large shoal often seen). Do not look for them at 20m deep ! Just S of Cap l'abeille !
When you come from Port-Vendres, turn left just after the Banyuls city sign. Park in the Helio Marin center parking, or near by. The dive site is in direction of the white rock named "the sphinx" to the northeast.
This is a great place for children (first dive, snorkeling, etc.). There is a small natural pool just behind the Banyuls Marine Research Center (Laboratoire Arago). Access the site by the harbour.
Les Tignes is a famous Banyuls dive. Usually, large shoals are seen in the area. Large groupers are mostly between the rocks and the coast.
