Ecole de plongée d'Ile Rousse

Tucked into the small marina of Ile-Rousse in Corsica's Balagne region, EPIR (Ecole de plongée d'Ile Rousse) puts you steps from the water. Its prime location close to the local dive sites, paired with the center's own facilities, makes it an easy base for getting under the surface of the Corsican coast.
