In Agay, Saint-Raphaël, Agathonis Plongée offers exploration of the shallow waters of Estérel through guided snorkelling and snorkelling trips. The centre is located beside the Agay river, between the Cap Roux marine reserve, Dramont and île d’Or, in a Natura 2000 area known for its biodiversity and red volcanic rocks.
What can you see around Agay?
The marine area explored by Agathonis extends from Cap Roux to Dramont and île d’Or. Groupers, shoals of barracudas, dentex, sea bream, damselfish and other Mediterranean species inhabit these waters; the volcanic formations also give underwater observation a different character from neighbouring limestone coasts.
Why choose snorkelling here?
The centre's boats provide quick access to marine areas around Agay bay. The main sites it uses are advertised as less than 15 minutes by boat away, reducing transfer times and leaving more time for activities in the water.
Is it suitable for families?
Agathonis also welcomes children and families to its underwater activities. Minors need parental authorisation for snorkelling trips. The centre employs state-qualified instructors and operates by reservation.
What to know before visiting in 2026
The centre is advertised as open daily from 1 March to 15 November 2026. Free parking is available in front of the centre and Agay TER station is approximately 10 minutes away on foot, making it possible to visit without a car.
The added attraction
Snorkelling has a distinctive local character here: you observe the Mediterranean at the foot of the volcanic Estérel, between blue water and red rock formations, with the Cap Roux reserve and Dramont as major geographical landmarks.
