One of the most beautiful wrecks in the Var! Little brother of the Donator, it benefits from the same geographical situation and an incredible amount of life. Not to be missed!

The Donator (Prosper Schiaffino) a reference for wrecks in the mediterranean. The current can be extremely strong. The stern is at 51 m while the bow is at 48 m.

From 0 to 34 m, with its famous "ski slope" for the impressive 45° sandy slope that characterizes it, this dive site is located to the north-west of the island of Bagaud, one of the smallest of the Hyères islands, in the heart of the Port-Cros National Park.

It is a difficult dive both because of its depth and because there is often a strong current at the site. Its small size makes it difficult to locate, the wreck is of no interest and there is no particular fascination in seeing it for the first time.

The northern tip of Porquerolles corresponding to the horn of “l Alycastre“ which represents a petrified dragon defeated by a knight. The island of Porquerolles would be the sleeping body of the beast sealed by the various fortifications of the island to avoid awakening.

Rocky ridges composed of flat rocks surrounded by posidonia. One rock with a round hole is nicknamed "L'oeil de Bagaud" (Bagaud's eye). Maritime traffic in the pass is intense.

A wreck from the late 19th century that combined sail and steam propulsion. The dive depth is 31 m and will be almost constant as the structure is very collapsed and all life is concentrated underneath.

The dive alternates between large rocky screes and ends to the south with magnificent ridges up to 40 m. Sheltered from the easterly wind, with the possibility of mooring on 4 buoys.

A well-marked drop-off on the eastern side of the Gabinière islet offers surprising perspectives of relief and a sensation of overflight that is always appreciated, especially when the current is present!
