Scuba diving is more than just a water sport: it’s a true invitation to explore a fascinating, often overlooked world. Equipped with specific equipment, such as a mask, regulator, and air tank, divers set out to discover the treasures hidden beneath the sea’s surface. This activity allows them to observe aquatic life up close—colorful fish, majestic coral, kelp forests—but also to discover shipwrecks steeped in history and breathtaking underwater landscapes.
Generally, especially for beginners, diving is supervised by qualified professionals. Before each outing, a short briefing session is held. You’ll learn underwater communication gestures (the famous diving signs), essential safety reflexes, and equipment handling. Equipment is generally provided by local dive centers: wetsuit, fins, mask, buoyancy compensator, and, of course, the precious oxygen tank.
And for those who would like to experience the joys of marine exploration without necessarily going to great depths, snorkeling is an excellent alternative.
Haute-Corse, with its translucent waters and rich and varied seabeds, is a little paradise for all those who wish to discover this activity or deepen their practice.
