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 PUNTA ROSSA offers some of Corsica's richest reef diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
At La Punta Rossa, expect a straightforward dive along a rocky slope, bottoming out around 20 metres. It’s a decent spot for intermediate divers looking for a relaxed exploration rather than dramatic walls. You’ll find plenty of typical Mediterranean residents like small groupers, moray eels tucked into crevices, and schools of damselfish flitting about. It's a good choice if you're after a pleasant dive without strong currents.
