Our opinion on E Ragnole Dive Center

Let’s go back in history, to 1990 when in Ajaccio, E Ragnole dive center began it's story. In a n high school in Ajaccio, several teachers including Christian came up with the crazy idea to introduce  their students to their passion: scuba diving. 

E Ragnole dive center is ideally located at the waters edge on the beach of Trottel in Corsica. Boasting a charming and professional team as well as two dive boats, Christian and Eric welcome new divers, beginner divers, advanced divers and divers looking to become professional dive instructors.

As native Corsicans, the E Ragnole team loves and respects the island of Corsica for its beauty including the treasures that lie within the Scandola Marine Reserve and the Petra Piumbata. For experienced and curious divers, Grouper Valley (Vallée des Mérous), Campanina Cave and Le Banc Provencal await. Aware of the beauty surrounding them and with a strong desire to protect it - E Ragnole organises a major beach cleaning event at Trottel beach each year and regularly collects ‘lost’ fishing nets that are found on the surrounding dive sites. 

Founded and run by education professionals, quality training especially youth courses are E Ragnole’s specialty. However divers of all other levels are more than welcome too! The dive center offers trimix, nitrox, and is a regional examination center. Christian and him team offer training for all ages and all levels from Discover Scuba Diving up to Instructor level. They are an authorised Mares dealer and offer their expertise when it comes to choosing the right equipment at competitive prices. 

Friendly and knowledgeable, the team at E Ragnole is built on solid friendship and a passion for diving. If you’re looking for a warm, inviting, quality dive center in Corsica then look no further. you won’t be disappointed!
