Clear Corsican cove dive with sand, rock, and beginner-friendly access.
Shallow Mediterranean cove dive at La Crique in Sagone, Corsica. The site opens from the beach into sand, rock, and clear water, with a sheltered feel that works well for beginner training, relaxed exploration, and underwater photography. Access is down a path from the road, parking is limited, and weekends can be busier than weekdays. Plan around the May-to-October dive season, when the cove is at its clearest and calmest.
