Le Scalette
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 Scalette offers some of Corsica's richest wall diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Le Scalette is a good easy dive, perfect for beginners looking to get comfortable in the water. It’s mostly sand and rock, gently sloping to about 27 meters. You'll find a few small boulders and some scattered posidonia beds, where we’ve often spotted small octopus tucked away and the occasional moray eel. It’s a calm site, usually without much current, making it a reliable spot for your first few open water dives.
