Boat-based Calvi site with a shallow slope, snorkeling, and a deeper statue feature for certified divers.
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.
Safety & Access
Safety Notes
Plan the deeper statue drop separately and treat the small tunnels as optional features rather than the main route.
Access Restrictions
Beginners and snorkelers can stay on the shallow slope, while the statue profile is for certified divers.
Legal Notes
Follow local Calvi Bay access and marine guidance rules, and book a guided outing if you want the deeper statue profile.
