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) - Les aiguilles offers some of Corsica's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Les aiguilles, or "The Needles," offers a series of rocky pinnacles in Corsica's clear Mediterranean waters. We found a good density of small reef fish here, along with the occasional moray eel peering from crevices. It's a straightforward dive, well-suited for divers looking for a relaxing exploration of Corsica's typical underwater topography. Visibility is generally good, making for easy navigation around the formations.
