Pointe de la Croix
A wall dive at the Pointe de la Croix on Port-Cros' south coast, down to about 30 m. It is one of the four busy sites (with La Gabinière, Le Vaisseau and La Galère) where the park requires someone able to move the boat to stay aboard in peak season.

- Permit: Port-Cros National Park waters (Port-Cros): scuba diving is forbidden without a park dive authorisation. Each diver or dive centre registers on CaPeL (capel.portcros-parcnational.fr), signs the dive regulation and reports dives; the boat's 'plongée' sticker is collected at a park house. Max 40 divers at a time per site, no anchoring within 100 m of dive sites, use the dive buoys (max 3 boats, none over 15 m). At La Gabinière, La Croix, Le Vaisseau and La Galère someone able to move the boat must stay aboard 9–17 h in the May–June peak periods and in July–August. Visiting divers normally dive with a registered centre. Check current rules. (Source: Port-Cros National Park marine regulation leaflet 2025)
