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) - La petite Bretagne offers some of Corsica's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
La petite Bretagne is a shallow site in Corsica, topping out at 18m, making it ideal for newer divers. We’ve found it’s a good spot for spotting Mediterranean wrasse and small schools of damselfish flitting around the rock formations. There aren't many big pelagics, but for a relaxed dive with consistent visibility, it’s a solid choice.
