Adventure under the Mediterranean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to marine biodiversity, the Mediterranean has nothing to envy the Caribbean or the Pacific islands. It is home to around 8% of the world’s marine fauna, yet covers less than 1% of the ocean’s surface. You don’t need to be a strong swimmer or a scuba diver to discover the riches of the Provence M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e seabed. Whether you’re on a guided aquatic tour or exploring on your own, all you need to do is snorkel and breathe to explore the underwater trails or watch the fish as you swim from the coves and beaches. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Underwater trails<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The six underwater trails in the Provence M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e region are designed to help you discover the diversity of marine landscapes and highlight the fragility of our ecosystems. In Hy\u00e8res, on the Olbia archaeological trail, in the waters of Port-Cros national park, in Le Pradet, La Garde or La Seyne-sur-Mer, follow these maritime routes punctuated by observation stops, with commentary by a guide or educational materials. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t
