Colorado is a scenic Corsica boat dive off Propriano.
Colorado is a boat dive off Propriano built around a rock head, plateau, and steep drop-off. The appeal is the relief itself: crevices, meanders, and a classic wall feel rather than a fish-heavy showpiece. It is best for divers who want a scenic depth-forward outing with groupers, octopus, and nudibranchs as the common pay-off.
