Located in Tizzano, near Sartène in southern Corsica, Altra Manera is a diving center that offers divers the chance to discover an unspoilt coastline. The center offers untouched dive sites, far from the tourist crowds. In the morning, an exploration dive is organized for certified divers, departing at 9 am. The afternoon is reserved for training and first dives, departing at 2 pm. Certified divers are asked to arrive half an hour before departure, with their diplomas and medical certificates.

The departure is metres from the famous stone arch of Capo Rosso. At this place, a dozen rocky pitons with the pointed shape go back between 2 and 3 m from the surface, they are placed on a sandy background, from which some bouquets of oceanic emerge. Exploration consists of visiting the peaks one by one, while progressing towards the bottom. In the natural infractuosités that dig the walls, it is not uncommon to observe beautiful morays specimens. The Piton… is located on the north-east side of the city, where the...... is located in the heart of the city. The area is frequented by six or seven pretty familiar groupers who, by curiosity, come to meet the palanquée. One of them, particularly large, lives in a cave that opens in one of the lifts. Some beautiful underwater passages are available for divers. On the sand, at 35 m, you may have a great raie skate in the digestive nap. While you're going to make your level, along the peak that goes back 2 m from the surface, don't forget to admire the grace of the flabelline that's in silence.

The island of Vardiola is a block of ochre and red granite on the southern shore of the Gulf of Porto. The dive takes place from the island in the left hand to reach its end. We cross a valley of deep sand about 20 m. On the other side, the lift is very cut and behind it is the diving! 32 m descent in a clear sand garden locked between two beautifully decorated rocky walls. From 26 m, the rock falls from a delicate forest of red coral. Under the beam of a powerful lighthouse, there is a vermillon red explosion. Well fed by a small current, coral is bloom with millions of white stars. It's amazing! By continuing to the wall that faces, we discover a huge vertical flaw which goes back in a few meters from the surface. Looking upwards, we see two large blocks that are stuck in narrow gully. Often, a interminable banc comes to play the stars in scintillating scintillating in the chimney.

The location lies along the northern flank of the tip of Ficajola in the middle of the Cove Cove. Basically a funny mountain, raised 20 m, waits for the diver. By bypassing it in the west, it is surprising to discover a real saucer. Above, rocks have the form of an Indian head and, at the foot of the nose, a very beautiful mother is planted on its 18 m sand terrace. While continuing in the same direction, the narrow entrance of a tunnel leads to another massif where coral is very present. You have to go east to reach a slide zone, this part is not great, but at the end it is an explosion of red red coral, covered with white polyps pile like cotton. At the back, new change of decor, the entrance of a crack is discovered around 6 to 8 m. We feel like diving diving into fresh water! This slit, 15 m long, is very obscure. It's better to have a torch. By lifting your eyes, you can see the surface that you can die (attention at the levels) to turn off the lamp. Very beautiful vision of this blue hole flooded with light, contrasting with the burning of the hose.

Located 5 minutes away from Porto. Cormorants taking the sun welcome us on this multi-level site. Three rocks out of the water tell us the different dives. The first, the most important, shows two cavities dotted with red coral at about -28 m, continuing to sand a small forest of red gorgonian at -40 m and back to anchorage by finishing it. With some luck, you may see a ray going into the water. The rest of marine life ranges from nudibranch to lobster, passing through the corbs with the eternal ballet of saupes and sars that are there permanently. The other rocks allow us to discover groupers and octopus through a suite of small canyons. The grelles follow us for our great pleasure.
