U Rigonne is a deep offshore rock off Erbalunga.
Usually dived as a guided boat outing from nearby Corsican dive centers.
U Rigonne is a deep offshore rock off Erbalunga, known for a dense group of groupers and other Mediterranean fish. The dive is a clean deep-rock profile rather than a maze of swim-throughs, so the main plan is a controlled descent, stable buoyancy, and a calm return. It is best treated as a guided boat dive for experienced divers who are comfortable working in clear water at depth.
