The Labillon is the barge of the tugboat of the Ghrib which was sunk on March 13, 1943 by an English submarine while on its way to Marseille. The wreck is on a sandy bottom of 94-96m.
We took advantage of the last splendid WE in Marseille to go explore it but the visit was not with us!
This dive with friends of the Deep CCR Tartiflette team was done in rebreather like all else, for 94m, a bottom time of 20 ′ and a total time of 157 ′.
We were able to enter the holds, but given the view we did not venture to look for the Ghrib which is 25m ahead.

I advise you all, a film by Rob Stewart “the lords of the sea”… Very nice film report where we understand the role of sharks on our planet…. Alas, the “teeth of the sea” have made a lot of evil sharks… I strongly advise you to watch it and let people know it around you… .. See you soon under water, among the silence and the bubbles …………………
well they are sinister your wrecks, no visi, no life, nets ... nothing
Just 2 moonfish on the canrobert…
When I remember my dive on the Donator in 1955, with fish everywhere, groupers, corbs, sars, and a herd of liches that turned around the mat
well, I am happy not to have to call your gas factories (it is not worth the air of the good god said frédéric dumas) to see such spectacles of desolation!
