    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cala dell'Alga is a sheltered bay, perfect for beginners taking their first breaths underwater. The maximum depth of 8 metres lets you spend plenty of time exploring the sandy patches and the scattered rocks. You’ll spot small schooling fish darting among the seagrass, and maybe a curious wrasse or two. It’s a gentle introduction to Corsica’s calm, inshore diving.
