Crique is a sheltered beginner-friendly shore dive in Corsica.
Crique is a sheltered Corsican shore site used for beginner training and first dives. The bay combines a sandy skills area with seagrass meadows and rocky sections, so it works well for shallow practice and early certification sessions. It is more of a calm-water training bay than a big scenic wall dive, with the best experience coming when the sea stays settled. Common Mediterranean life includes octopus and rockfish around the rocks and weed.
