This submarine was a mine-layer, launched in 1931 for the Franch Navy. Length: 66m. After the war, it was sunk on purpose by the Navy in 1958, to serve as a sonar target. This is one of the most beautiful dives from the French Riviera. Ideal for a Nitrox 30 mix. When diving with air, do not stay more than 15 minutes at the bottom to avoid long decompression stops. Beware of currents both on the surface and on the wreck. The sealife in the wreck is magnificent: groupers, lobsters, moray eels, conger eels, etc. It is not recommended to penetrate inside the wreck (risk of entanglement, low visibility due to sediments). There exist only 2 other submarines on the french riviera: one at an extreme depth (127m) called From Cavalaire, or Saint-Topez Harbour. The submarine is located near the famous beach of Pampelone.
The wreck is completely destroyed and spread all over the place. a underwater rock which reaches from -5 meters to -14 meters splits the prow and the stern of this wreck. Directely in front of the Cap Camerat there is the wreck of the Tell (French: Le Tell). It lies in the middle of two small rocks /Islands which can be seen in the Surface. Le Tell is also known as Tell.
