This dive site is renowned for its spectacular underwater topography, featuring enormous granite boulders that form a labyrinth of canyons and passages. True to its name, 'City of the Groupers', it is a sanctuary for large, curious dusky groupers that often approach divers. The combination of dramatic landscapes and impressive marine life makes it a top dive in Corsica.
