Cala Corsi

Cala Corsi is an advanced dive site off the southeastern coast of Tavolara Island in Sardinia, where a sheltered cove gives way to a dramatic underwater drop-off reaching 40 meters. The site begins with a gentle granite slope in the shallows before the seabed falls away into a deep wall. The upper sections feature Posidonia meadows and scattered boulders alive with wrasses, damselfish, and octopuses. The wall itself is a vertical garden of gorgonians, with massive red and yellow fans extending from every ledge and overhang. In the deeper zones, groupers of impressive size patrol their territories — Tavolara's protection has allowed these fish to reach dimensions rarely seen elsewhere in the Mediterranean. Lobsters emerge from crevices on night dives. The site's depth and occasional currents require experience, but the wall's spectacular gorgonian coverage makes it unforgettable.
