Lavezzi Tete' de cheval
Rock-head wall dive in the Lavezzi reserve

Boat-access wall and canyon site in the Lavezzi reserve with easier tops, deeper structure, and strong reserve fish life.
About Lavezzi Tete' de cheval
Lavezzi Tete' de cheval is a Bonifacio boat dive built around two rock heads and a wall-and-canyon profile where the scenery changes fast as you move around the secca. The top is manageable enough for guided dives, but the walls still drop into real depth once you leave the rock. It sits inside the Lavezzi reserve, so local operator planning and reserve conditions matter more than anything on shore. Expect a controlled boat dive with strong fish life and careful buoyancy rather than a relaxed beach entry.
