If you're in Cote d'Azur, definitely do the water activities and after a lot of research I felt that Antibes has the best of them. It was our first time so started off with snorkeling, which turned out to be mesmerizing and definitely going back soon to them for Scuba diving.

Absolutely worth it. I am not the greatest swimmer, so I was a bit scared of it all, but I would definitely do it all again.

Very good, approximately 20 min by boat to the spot and I guess we were in the water for almost 2 hours.

Fun, brief snorkeling experience. The fish were not plentiful, so not much to see compared to the Caribbean.
