Boat-access rocky dive with drop-offs and gorgonians
Le Jardin is a boat-access rocky dive off Corsica with a dramatic central rock, steep drop-offs on one side, and a gentler slope on the other. It suits experienced divers who like gorgonians, groupers, nudibranchs, and black corals, plus a current-sensitive profile that rewards calm-weather planning more than casual reef cruising.
