The Gulf of Porto
Top 9 in Top 10 Greatest Dive Spots in France
The Gulf of Porto is an excellent area to dive in France and is located on the western coast of Corsica. The Gulf's distinctive geology has made it a famous tourist attraction in the region. Above and below the water's surface, volcanic or magmatic rocks add to the allure. Red porphyry covers the steep cliffs descending into the depths, creating a magnificent sight.
The protected marine reserve of Scandola, located at the mouth of the Gulf of Porto, was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1975. This tranquil sanctuary protects a diverse ecosystem, particularly on the Mucchilina Punta Capo Rosso dive site. Divers that enjoy huge fish will enjoy diving with barracudas, liches, or groupers.
