Ajaccio boat wall for experienced divers.
La vallée des mérous is a serious Ajaccio-area wall dive near Capu di Muro, reached by boat and shaped by a long rocky drop-off with ridges, blocks, and open water below. It is best treated as an advanced current-facing dive where buddy discipline, controlled descent, and clean positioning matter more than covering distance. The site is known for big groupers and black coral, so the draw is the relief and the marine life rather than an easy scenic cruise.
