Dive-site story
Set within the protected Lavezzi archipelago reserve in the Strait of Bonifacio, this site centers on a labyrinth of granite blocks tumbling onto sand channels. Decades of strict conservation have habituated the resident dusky groupers, which readily approach divers. Schools of barracuda patrol open water above the rocky plateaus, while morays and forkbeards shelter in crevices.

Seasonality
