Dive centre - Exploration dive

Autonomous divers without equipment rental

The exploration dive for independent divers without equipment rental in Algajola, between Calvi and L'Île-Rousse, lets certified and experienced divers discover the seabed of Balagne.

Medical contraindications to check before booking

Activity description

Discover the finest sites in the Balagne: we dive iconic sites such as the B-17 wreck and Punta Revellata in Calvi, the Naso drop-offs at L'Île-Rousse and, of course, the famous Danger d'Algajola. The biodiversity and the number of fish are impressive.

We offer classic single-dive outings, but we also run morning outings with two dives on two different sites. This type of outing is ideal because it lets you make the most of your dives, keep time for your non-diving companions and, above all, discover our magnificent region on land as well. Or simply to do more diving during your holiday.

Prices for autonomous dives apply to a minimum of two Level 2 divers, but the dive centre recommends this type of dive for Level 3 divers and above.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What level do I need to book this dive?

You must hold at least a Level 2 and have all your own diving equipment (except tank and weights). Level 2 divers can dive independently, but many of our iconic sites have points of interest below 20m. Contact us to discuss it. We recommend Level 3 for independent dives.

Can I go on my own if I am alone?

To dive autonomously and benefit from autonomous rates, there must be at least two divers, each holding at least Level 2. The dive centre is not obliged to provide you with a buddy.

Where do the exploration dives take place?

At the finest sites in the Balagne: from Calvi to L’Île-Rousse via Algajola.

Do I need a medical certificate?

For fully autonomous dives, we ask divers to provide a medical certificate of no contraindication issued less than one year ago.
