France · Northern and Western Corsica (Calvi, Porto and Scandola)
Shallow Calvi sec near STARESO with clear water and deeper rock lines.
Shallow Calvi sec near STARESO with clear water and deeper rock lines.
Boat access through a Calvi dive center is the normal way to reach the site.
Guided boat sec off the Revellata side of Calvi, near STARESO, with a shallow rocky crown that opens onto deeper ridges and boulder lines. Plan it as a calm-water Mediterranean training and photo dive: stay conservative on the outer rock, expect clear water and steady fish life, and use a Calvi operator for the boat route and surface logistics. The shallow top suits easy snorkel work, while the deeper side gives experienced divers more relief without turning the site into a high-friction dive.
Safety Notes
Stay conservative on the deeper ridges, keep buoyancy tight around the rock, and surface with the boat in sight.
Access Restrictions
Use a Calvi boat operator; this is not a casual shore-entry dive.
Legal Notes
Follow local briefing and any reserve or anchoring rules in force for the route, and avoid contact with the rock.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A good first-reef style boat dive on the shallow top, with enough relief and fish life to keep experienced divers interested.
Freediving
Best as a relaxed freedive on the shallow crown in settled water; do not treat the deeper ridges as an easy free-depth line.
Snorkeling
One of the more snorkel-friendly Calvi stops in calm conditions, with easy structure reading near the surface.
