About les Grottes

Les Grottes is a boat-only cave-and-rock dive in eastern Corsica, set over a posidonia meadow and reached on a mooring line. The site is known for easy reading at the entry, multiple caverns, and a relaxed profile that suits supervised beginners as well as more experienced divers who enjoy steady trim and careful orientation. Marine life is a strong part of the appeal, with Mediterranean cave and rock species around the caverns and edges.
