About Roche Marine

Roche Marine is a boat-accessed Cargese dive site with limestone-and-granite relief, steep rocky faces, and flatter ledges that make the site feel different from one line to the next. It works well as an easy scenic dive when the sea is calm, with a shallow line for training and a more textured route for divers who want to follow the rock. Plan on a short boat run, variable current, and clear water that rewards relaxed buoyancy and close attention to the reef line.

Scuba Diving

A good scenic scuba site when conditions are calm, with enough relief to keep the line interesting but a shallow route that stays approachable for training dives.

Possible only near the shallowest rock on calm days; most visitors will get more out of it as a scuba dive.
