About Stareso
Stareso is a Calvi Bay dive area at the tip of the Revellata, where clear Mediterranean water, drop-offs, caves, and pinnacles create a flexible playground for scuba and freediving. The area is known for high biodiversity and a mix of shallow to deep sections, so it suits divers who want variety rather than a single fixed profile. Expect groupers, corbs, lobsters, and schools of colorful fish around rocky structure, with deeper routes that reward careful tide and navigation planning.
