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) - Piscine offers some of Corsica's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Piscine, or "The Pool," is exactly what the name suggests: a sheltered, shallow basin perfect for divers getting comfortable in the water. Dropping to a gentle 12 meters, it's an ideal spot for checking buoyancy, running through skills, or simply enjoying a relaxed drift over the sandy bottom. You won't find dramatic walls or pelagics here, but look closely and you’ll spot small Mediterranean wrasse darting between the rocks, maybe an octopus tucked into a crevice, or a curious little goby watching you from a discarded shell. It’s a great confidence builder, especially for newer divers or those who just want a calm, easy dive without any surprises. We often use it as a check-out dive, and it never disappoints for its sheer tranquility.
