Caen

Caen is a historic city in Normandy, France, situated inland near the coast. It isn’t a primary diving hub, and there are no local dive sites right in the city. Nearby freshwater options include the Scarpe river, which is used more for training or logistical access than for recreational diving. For divers, Caen serves as a gateway to the wider Calvados coast and the Channel, with several centers and dive sites reachable within a day trip. If you’re visiting, you’ll likely base yourself here for culture and transport, then venture to coastal dive destinations along La Manche.
