Corsica: Plenty of Fish in the Sea

Juliette Claro

Who said there are no more fish in the Mediterranean? I was one of them, until I dived in the Natural Marine Conservation Park of Corsica and Sardinia. I was a bit sceptical at first, despite great dives in the North of the island around Calvi and Ile Rousse, but as soon as we descended on the little house reef out of Palombaggia I was stunned by the life in these waters.

Corsica lies South East of France, and despite being a French territorial collectivity in its own right since 1769, you will find the locals will consider themselves Corsican rather French. It is a lovely island, unspoilt and wild, which offers some of the best diving in the Mediterranean, and some of the best food in the world. How could you not resist?...
