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) - Taravo island offers some of Corsica's richest diving. Water ranges 15-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Taravo Island offers a straightforward dive in Corsica, often with good visibility. You'll find scattered rock formations and small patches of seagrass, home to typical Mediterranean wrasse and bream. It's a reliable spot for a relaxed morning dive or an easy afternoon entry, particularly if you're looking for something gentle after more challenging sites. We'd suggest it for divers preferring a quieter experience.
