Discover the incredible sensations of diving in the Cap Corse Natural Marine Park with your first dive in Bastia!
With turquoise waters teeming with fish that can exceed 25°C at the height of summer, Cap Corse is an exceptional place to discover scuba diving in Corsica, whether or not you have already had scuba diving experience. So if you would like to experience incredible underwater immersion along the superb coastline of Cap Corse, don't wait any longer to take a first dive in Bastia! Accompanied by professional instructors to guide and supervise you throughout the activity, you will spend unforgettable moments observing the underwater life of the Mediterranean Sea while discovering the unique sensations of this water sport (breathing underwater, feeling weightless, etc.).
Departing from Bastia's Old Port, you will board a RIB boat for just 5 minutes of sailing to your dive site at the foot of Bastia's citadel (variable according to weather conditions). Here, crystal-clear waters await you, allowing you to experience your first dive in Bastia with good visibility: not only will you be able to admire the colourful rocks on the cliffs of the citadel, but you will also be able to observe the local fauna and flora (small groupers, starfish, sea urchins, sponges, anemones, etc., and for the lucky ones maybe even an octopus or moray eel!). In total, you will spend 20 minutes underwater, swimming to a maximum depth of 6 metres, each in the company of a dedicated instructor. Finally, while the other participants complete their first dive, you will have the chance to snorkel around the boat, under the supervision of an on-board instructor who will be able to tell you all about the underwater species you can see.
Available from the age of 6 to anyone who can swim, this diving experience in Bastia is not to be missed if you are intrigued by the underwater world. You will have the pleasure of learning to dive in the magnificent setting of the Cap Corse Natural Marine Park, in perfect conditions that will allow you to make the most of your discovery of scuba diving in Bastia!
