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) - Scandola offers some of Corsica's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Scandola offers a quintessential Corsican dive, with dramatic volcanic rock formations descending into the blue. We typically find red gorgonians clinging to the walls and good numbers of groupers lurking in crevices. It's a striking site for divers who appreciate dramatic geology and the classic Mediterranean reefscape.
