This dive site, Pointe de la Chiappa, is located near Porto-Vecchio on the beautiful island of Corsica. Navigation is generally straightforward, with the site's features easily visible even in moderate depths. While there's no known specific historical narrative attached to the site, its popularity speaks to its consistent appeal for divers of all skill levels.
The underwater world here thrives with a diverse range of marine life. Divers can expect to see schools of sars and sea bream, alongside more elusive creatures like moray eels and crayfish. The rocky substrate provides plenty of crevices and hiding places for smaller invertebrates, making it a good location for macro photography.
The best time to visit is during the summer months (June to September) when the water is warmest and visibility is typically at its best. For freedivers, the calm conditions and varied depths make this a suitable location for breath-hold diving, while scuba divers can appreciate the relatively easy navigation and rich marine biodiversity. Remember to respect the environment and practice responsible diving techniques.
