This dive site, Capu Sagru, is located on the wild and rocky east coast of Cap Corse in northern Corsica, France. It offers an immersive experience into scenic rocky beds that are easily navigable given the shallow maximum depth of 7 meters. While specific historical context is not provided, its natural rugged beauty defines its character as a pristine, exposed coastal environment ideal for underwater exploration.
Underwater, explorers can expect to encounter a vibrant array of marine life typical of the Mediterranean's rocky habitats. Notable species include various scorpionfish, robust groupers, delicate sponges, schools of cardinalfish, and elusive moray eels, all finding refuge within the intricate rock formations.
The best time to visit Capu Sagru would be during periods of calm sea conditions, as the site is quite exposed to surf and can be impracticable otherwise. It is especially recommended for snorkelers due to its shallow average depth of 3 meters and abundant marine life. Divers of all levels can enjoy the site when conditions permit, offering a serene glimpse into Corsica's underwater world, just a short 20-minute drive from Bastia.
