Why dive here
With 213+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, great white sharks, hammerhead sharks and mobula rays (devil rays) - Crique offers some of Corsica's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Crique is a very shallow, protected cove in Corsica, ideal for those just starting out or needing a refresher. The maximum depth is 7m, making it perfect for skill practice or a gentle introduction to being underwater. You'll find small schools of fish darting among the rocks, and it’s a calm spot to get comfortable before tackling deeper sites. We’d recommend it for new divers who want a relaxed first dip.
