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) - Iles Sanguinaires offers some of Corsica's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Diving the Iles Sanguinaires offers a classic Corsican Mediterranean experience. We often find schooling barracuda here, sometimes in significant numbers, alongside the usual suspects like moray eels tucked into crevices. The site is generally straightforward, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon dip rather than a challenging adventure. It's a solid, dependable dive without too many surprises.
