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) - Le Pain de sucre offers some of Corsica's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Pain de Sucre, or 'Sugar Loaf', is a distinctive pinnacle site off Corsica's coast. The rock rises from deeper waters, creating a haven for schooling fish and barracuda. We've often seen dentex patrolling its edges, and the crevices hold moray eels. It’s a good spot for those who appreciate dramatic topography and pelagic encounters, usually with mild currents.
