About Saint François
Saint François is a sheltered Calvi Bay coastal dive with a gentle rocky-and-posidonia slope, small tunnels, and a statue feature that gives the site two clear planning modes. The shallow top of the site works for beginners, snorkelers, and freedivers, while certified divers can follow the route deeper for the statue and the octopus-holding bottom. It is best approached as a calm guided outing with simple logistics and an easy return to the boat.
