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) - Subtortue offers some of Corsica's richest reef diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Subtortue off Corsica gives you a real taste of Mediterranean diving. We’ve found decent visibility here, often 15 metres or so, which helps you pick out the ornate wrasse flitting over the rocks and schools of salema that often hang in the mid-water. Keep an eye out for dusky groupers in the crevices, they're quite shy but rewarding to spot. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, good for a second tank, and suits anyone looking for a pleasant dip without too much fuss.
