Épave Le Saumur

Explore the eerie ambiance as you dive into the depths of Port-Vendres, France. Descend to a maximum depth of 39m and discover the haunting wreck resting on its keel. The stern, lying on its side, stands apart from the rest of the ship, creating a captivating underwater sight. The emergency propeller can still be clearly seen near the aft cargo mast on the port side.

As you explore the wreck, keep an eye out for a variety of marine life that inhabits the area. Look out for species such as Congers, Anthias, Pout, Capon, Octopus, Flabelline, Dory, Sunfish, Pennatula, and Glacial Starfish. Their vibrant presence adds a touch of color to the ghostly surroundings.

Venture to the kiosk level of the wreck to discover remnants of the ship's past. Explore the bathroom and galley, and if you're lucky enough to find the bathroom, take note of the tile color as a piece of the wreck's history.

At the forefront of the ship, witness a remarkable sight - a cannon that still spins on its axis after more than 70 years beneath the waves. Further ahead, in the anchorage's chain wells, a majestic conger eel has made its home. Approach it discreetly and avoid dazzling it with your dive lamp.

With a visibility of 4m, this dive site offers a thrilling adventure for advanced divers. Immerse yourself in the history and rich marine life that thrives in the waters of Port-Vendres, France.
