    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Focacciola, also known as Gemini Rock, is a shallow site in Corsica, perfect for newer divers. The main attraction is a large rock formation that begins just below the surface and descends to 18 meters. You’ll find schools of damselfish flitting around the rock face and plenty of nudibranchs if you look closely. It’s a comfortable, easy dive, ideal for those building confidence.
