Sottolonda
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) - Sottolonda offers some of Corsica's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Sottolonda, off the Corsican coast, is one of those Mediterranean dives that really leans into the rocky, red coral aesthetic. You'll find plenty of bushy coral and scarlet coral clinging to the walls, creating some nice backdrops for morays and conger eels to peek out from. We've often seen garrupa here, just hanging in the blue, and if you’re lucky, a common spiny lobster might make an appearance. It's a solid dive for those who appreciate the slower pace of Med life and don't mind a bit of a hunt for the critters.
