Capo Rosso offers a straightforward dive along Corsica's rugged coastline. You'll find a series of rocky drop-offs and small caverns, home to grouper and moray eels if you look closely. It's a solid choice for a relaxing afternoon dive, particularly suiting divers who appreciate dramatic rock formations and the quiet exploration of Mediterranean life. Current can pick up, so check conditions beforehand.
