About this dive site

This dive site, U Rigone, is a marine rock formation located off the coast of Erbalunga, France. It's characterized by a significant depth of 31 meters, demanding a certain level of diving experience and appropriate equipment. The underwater topography is likely composed of rocky outcrops and crevices, creating interesting dive routes and opportunities for exploration. Navigating the site requires attention to depth and possible currents.

The diverse marine life is a major highlight of U Rigone. A family of groupers makes this site their home, cohabiting with conger eels, moray eels, and corbs. The description indicates that a full range of marine life is present, suggesting potential encounters with other fish species, invertebrates, and possibly smaller crustaceans.

The best time to visit U Rigone would likely be during the warmer months (summer and early autumn) when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally better. Divers should be prepared for moderate currents, and appropriate buoyancy control and dive planning are essential for a safe and enjoyable dive. Freediving is not recommended due to the depth and the need for careful navigation.
