This dive site, Plage de l'Alga, along with its neighbor Plage de l’Oscellucia, stands out as one of the most easily accessible snorkeling and shallow diving locations near Calvi. Situated in a sheltered bay, the site is characterized by expansive seagrass meadows and diverse rocky areas that line the beach. Its limited depth, reaching a maximum of just 4 meters in the center of the bay, makes navigation simple and exploring the coastal features straightforward and relaxing.
Beneath the surface, an interesting variety of Mediterranean fish can be observed. Common inhabitants include sargo, various species of wrasses, and combers, which thrive in the rich ecosystems provided by the seagrass and rocky reef structures. These habitats act as important nurseries and feeding grounds, supporting a healthy community of smaller marine life.
The best time to visit Plage de l'Alga is typically during the warmer months, from late spring through early autumn, when water temperatures are most inviting. This site is perfectly suited for beginner divers, snorkelers, and freedivers due to its shallow, calm waters and easy shore access. It offers a wonderful opportunity for families and individuals to enjoy the underwater world without requiring extensive diving experience or specialized equipment.
