The online diving logbook, known by its French acronym, CaPeL, has been designed to make it easier for you to complete administrative procedures (such as electronically signing charters or regulations) and to submit information about your dive. You can find out about dive sites, identify an organisation to support you, and consult the regulations.

Diving in the Port-Cros national Park
In the 1990s, a voluntary charter was created which set out proposals to manage diving at Port-Cros. In 2016, these were replaced with regulations which increase divers’ obligations.
Where to dive?
The diversity of habitats offers a wide variety of landscapes for divers of all levels allowing them to explore typically Mediterranean ecosystems.
Our partners
Every year, organisations and associations commit to comply with the diving regulations. During each annual meeting with the Park, diving enthusiasts are actively involved in helping define the ambitions for the area.
We welcome your observations
Your observations are useful. They feed into national databases and help improve our knowledge of nature, rare phenomena, and changing uses.
Information and regulations
A national park is an exceptional area which is freely accessible to everyone, but for which each individual is responsible. The area around the islands of Port-Cros and Porquerolles is protected by specific regulations on traffic, anchoring, diving, and recreational fishing.
