La Tête de Mort
La Tête de Mort is a boat dive south of Ajaccio with rocky heads and gorgonians.
Boat access from Ajaccio/Porticcio, a deeper drop-off, and good visibility make this a classic Gulf of Ajaccio profile.
About La Tête de Mort
La Tête de Mort is a boat dive south of Ajaccio built around several rocky heads and a pronounced drop-off. It is a classic Gulf of Ajaccio site for divers who want a deeper wall profile, gorgonian colour, and strong fish life without a long swim. The appeal is the rocky relief and the chance to work through a bigger profile while still staying on a clear, well-known local route.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A boat dive on rocky heads that rise through a deeper profile, with gorgonians on the drop-off and enough relief to keep the route interesting at multiple depths.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the deeper profile and boat access make it a scuba dive.
