L'hélicoptère

L'hélicoptère is a coastal Italian–French border site near Ventimiglia, commonly relied on by local divers for its straightforward access and modest depth. Located in a busy bay area, the dive typically features a shallow seabed with rocky outcrops and clear blue water conditions. Expect Mediterranean marine life typical of the Ligurian coast, including groupers, wrasses, moray eels, and assorted invertebrates around rocky patches. The site is suitable for beginners and for practice dives when sea conditions allow, with calm entry from the shore or a short boat ride from nearby ports. Given its proximity to Ventimiglia, Menton, and Roquebrune-Ccap-Martin, it serves as a convenient local option for day trips and training after favorable tides.
