Calvi boat site with granite walls and clear water.
Calvi boat site with granite walls and clear water.
Short boat access and the site position past Cap de la Revellata make a local operator the normal way in.
La Punta Bianca is a boat-access point off Calvi with clear granite walls, steep drop-offs, and a rocky and seagrass mix that can be worked from a shallow top into deeper ledges. It is a classic Calvi exploration site for relaxed guided dives, snorkel-minded sessions, and slower wall work, with a peaceful feel once you are away from the harbor.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The site is a wall-and-ledge dive with small tunnels and scenic drop-offs, so it suits controlled exploration and photography.
Freediving
The shallower top of the site can work for very confident freedivers, but the walls and drop-offs are the main draw.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works best on the shallow top in calm water; the deeper walls are for scuba and careful buoyancy work.
