Corsica
Corsica’s dive season centers on the Mediterranean coastline, with typical conditions shaped by exposure to winds and the season’s warming of surface waters. Divers commonly choose easy shore entries near towns on the west and south coasts, then move to boat dives for deeper profiles and clearer water. The island’s rocky bottoms, varied seafloor relief, and scattered inshore features support a mix of Mediterranean reef life such as octopus, cuttlefish, and small reef fish, alongside nudibranchs and other invertebrates. Expect visibility to vary, often improving on calmer days, and plan dives around current and swell. With a network of local dive centers, Corsica is practical for recreational diving and for photographers looking for sheltered coves and distinctive rocky habitats.
