Centre de Plongée Castille

Tucked into Calvi's port on France's island of Corsica, Centre de Plongée Castille is a PADI 5 Star Dive Resort built around a friendly club atmosphere. Its base boat, the "Thalassa," comes fitted with hot showers, toilets and a large changing room, while a dedicated rooftop space welcomes divers for tea and coffee. It's the perfect spot to fill out your logbook, claim your discover dive diploma, or simply relax before and after a dive.

Diving with Castille

With 10 PADI Instructors on staff, the centre runs the full PADI pathway — from Scuba Diving and Snorkelling courses to TecRec and EFR First Aid training. Speed boats whisk divers out to Calvi's dive sites, where you might encounter sharks, whales, turtles, ocean fish, eels, molluscs and crustaceans, corals, anemones and jellyfish.

This waterfront centre also offers Nitrox, equipment sales and a full rental range including kids' gear and DPV scooters, with a retail shop and food and drinks on site. Staff speak English and French, making it a welcoming choice for visiting and local divers alike.
