Volcanic walls, a historic bomber wreck and a protected coast where the rules shape the adventure

Calvi, Galeria and Porto form a varied land-based diving circuit. Calvi's operators run short trips to the B17 Flying Fortress, La Revellata, Sec des Belges and La Bibliotheque. Galeria's L'Incantu reaches pinnacles, faults and walls such as I Scuglietti and Punta Muchillina at Scandola's southern boundary. Porto-based A Ciuttata serves the volcanic Gulf of Porto and Calanques sector. Beginners have sheltered reefs and try-dive options, while advanced divers can add deeper shoals, gorgonian walls and wreck profiles.
The non-negotiable rule is geographic: scuba diving is prohibited inside Scandola Nature Reserve. A responsible operator will identify the legal dive area, current quiet zones and any weather-driven site substitution before departure.
An underwater island and headland system beginning around {{ 10 | distance:m }} and dropping beyond {{ 40 | distance:m }}, with walls, canyons and routes adaptable to different certifications.

A major Galeriaarea site at Scandola's southern boundary, with a shallow top, long wall, gorgonians and profiles from about {{ 2 | distance:m }} toward {{ 55 | distance:m }}.
A Galeria pinnacle topping near {{ 9 | distance:m }} and descending toward {{ 30 | distance:m }}, often chosen for groupers and a flexible multilevel profile.
An upright World War II bomber resting on sand at roughly {{ 25 | distance:m }} to {{ 28 | distance:m }} beneath Calvi's citadel.
