Rocky Bastia boat dive with clear water and fish life.
Scogliu is a Bastia-area boat dive built around rocky relief, tunnels, and faults rather than soft-coral scenery. The site feels wild and unspoilt, with clear Mediterranean water, strong fish life, and enough structure to keep the route interesting without turning it into a high-flow challenge. It suits divers who like sharp terrain, deliberate finning, and a quiet, natural-looking underwater landscape.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
26m - 38m
Depth Note
The site starts in the mid-20s and drops into the upper-30s, so the main planning issue is the rocky route rather than a single flat reef depth.
Best Season
Warm-season Corsica diving is the safest bet, with clear water and more comfortable conditions in the main summer window.
Typical Conditions
Clear-water rocky relief with tunnels, faults, and a calm enough feel to keep the route focused on structure rather than flow.

Scuba Diving
A rocky Mediterranean dive with tunnels and faults that rewards controlled buoyancy and a careful look into the structure.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the tunnels, faults, and deeper profile are better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
