Diving La Revellata

Site Overview

La Revellata is a wall and reef dive site in Corsica, France, reached from the base town of Calvi. La Revellata is a steep drop-off west of Calvi falling from 12 m to 38 m, with groupers, amberjacks and the chance of sunfish. It is the signature dive of the Calvi coast, rich in gorgonians. The site reaches a maximum depth of 38 m with an average profile around 24 m and a shallow start near 12 m, which places it firmly in the intermediate category and means divers should hold at least an Advanced Open Water certification. Conditions are typical of the French coastal coast: visibility generally runs from 18 to 38 metres, the current is moderate, and the water temperature ranges between 14 and 26 degrees Celsius with low surge exposure. The marine community is centred on Dusky Grouper, Amberjack, Common Barracuda, Mediterranean Moray, Red Gorgonian, Two-banded Seabream, and the full species list is detailed below for divers planning a trip. La Revellata is a strong representative of why Corsica diving is so highly regarded, blending the geology, history and biodiversity that define French underwater exploration. It pairs naturally with the other sites of the Corsica region for a varied holiday, and with the right thermal protection and, where relevant, the correct specialist training, it offers a memorable dive for photographers, naturalists and wreck or reef enthusiasts alike.
