Grande blue is a small sheltered bay south of Stegna with mixed rock and sand, plus cave and swim-through sections that keep the route varied. The site works as a compact beach-and-bay dive rather than a long offshore run, and the shallow parts make it practical for snorkeling and relaxed training. Current and visibility can change, so it is best treated as a conditions-sensitive local favorite rather than a guaranteed easy day.

Shallow bay with variable depth, swim-throughs, canyons, and a cave; the most interesting terrain stays in a relatively shallow range.
Best Season
Late spring through early autumn, with the warmest beach weather and the best odds of a comfortable water day.
Typical Conditions
Small sheltered bay with mixed rock and sand, clear water on good days, and a profile that can still feel active when current picks up.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Use the cave and swim-through sections conservatively, and do not assume current-free conditions just because the bay looks sheltered.
Access Restrictions
Treat the bay as a site with changing water movement and cave sections rather than a casual swim beach.
Legal Notes
Follow local beach and resort access rules around Stegna, and check current conditions before entering the bay.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Scuba divers can explore variable-depth terrain with canyons, swim-throughs, and a cave.
Freediving
The shallow bay can suit experienced freedivers in calm weather, but the cave and current make scuba the main use case.
Snorkeling
Snorkelers can work the sheltered shallows and the cave edge, but the deeper canyons are better left to scuba.
