France – Corsica
Corsica rises steeply out of the Mediterranean, so deep water, walls and pinnacles are close to shore all around the island. The west coast offers red-granite capes around the Gulf of Porto, the Revellata canyon and the famous B-17 bomber off Calvi; Cap Corse and the east coast hold Second World War wrecks such as the P-47 at Miomo, the Insuma and the Alcione C; the south has the Valinco walls and, in the Bouches de Bonifacio Nature Reserve, the tame dusky groupers of Mérouville and the Cerbicale islands off Porto-Vecchio. Large areas are protected: scuba diving is forbidden in the marine part of the Scandola reserve, and the Bonifacio reserve has no-take and reinforced-protection zones – always dive through a local centre.
