You wish to discover the Mediterranean seabed? The places within reach are unoriginal and already too popular? You are hesitant about scuba diving and wish to make a first approach beforehand? Make your first aquatic journey through snorkelling !!
At Castille Plongée, you can enjoy Corsica's turquoise water and its underwater richness from the surface! Equipped by the club with a wetsuit, fins, snorkels and a mask, you will be taken by boat to the edge of a natural reserve where you'll explore, at your own pace, a site specially chosen for its biodiversity!
Our boat “Le Thalassa” serves as a base for the diving club! Unmissable, it sits in the middle of Calvi's harbour, and includes a rooftop where our divers sip their best drink before and after the dive. The boat is equipped with hot showers, toilets and a large changing room which ensures, even on the water, optimal and uncompromising comfort.
As soon as you arrive, our team of instructors will introduce you to the boat and all the equipment it offers. You will be able to change into your wetsuit or shorty, depending on water temperature and your own preference! You will then be provided with fins and a mask before boarding one of our zodiac boats.
Off we go then for a short boat trip at the discovery of Calvi's fabulous diving sites, such as the Revellata. Once arrived, the boat will anchor for 1 hour and one of our staff will stay to advise, guide and direct you to the sites's most interesting points while ensuring your safety.
You'll come across pomfrets, wrasses, sea breams and saupes, but also sea urchins and starfish. The rocks are also colonised by orange, black and grey sponges and anemones. Moray eels, toothfish, octopuses and scorpionfish may also cross your path. Don't forget that every marine exploration has its share of surprises, so you never know what you'll come across. For those wondering: no, you won't see any sharks (unfortunately…) but we always do our best to ensure the best possible experience!
During the session, you may return to the zodiac whenever you want, jump to perfect your acrobatic techniques or tan in the sun to show off upon your return ;)
Once the snorkelling is over, we’ll enjoy a magical moment watching the sunset over the sea from the boat – perfect for unforgettable memories and stunning photos.
You must be able to swim for this activity.
See you soon !
