Diving sites of the community of communes of Golfe Saint Tropez. For more than 15 years, the Maritime Spaces Department "Espaces maritimes" (formerly the Marine Observatory "Observatoire marin") has been working to protect the seabed by developing the most sensitive diving sites, thus limiting the impact of repeated anchoring. So far, 15 sites have been developed (4 wrecks, 11 natural sites) and a total of 27 ecological anchoring devices have been installed. Every year, 30.000 dives are recorded of which 85% are carried out by professional structures.
