About this dive site

This dive site, Palombaggia, is nestled along one of Corsica's most renowned beaches, famous for its stunning red rocks, white sand, and turquoise waters. Underwater exploration is focused on the easily accessible rocky areas at the northern end of the beach. Navigating this site is straightforward due to its shallow depths, making it an ideal spot for gentle underwater discovery.

The thriving marine life here is sustained by a diverse habitat of Neptune grass meadows, interspersed with sandy patches and rocky outcrops. This ecosystem shelters various small fish species, crustaceans, and other invertebrates commonly found in the Mediterranean Sea, offering a charming display of biodiversity for keen observers.

Palombaggia is best enjoyed during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when water clarity is at its peak and temperatures are comfortable. It is perfectly suited for snorkelers, freedivers, and beginner scuba divers seeking an accessible and visually rich experience in Corsica's beautiful coastal waters.
