The sea is flat before anyone else is awake.


The Corsican coast underwater is one of the most extraordinary marine environments in the Mediterranean -- and one of the least known to the visitors who spend their summers above it. This episode goes into the water: the ancient posidonia meadows that are among the oldest living organisms on earth, the Lavezzi islands marine reserve at the southern tip of the island, and what decades of protection have done to the behaviour of the fish inside Corsican reserves versus those outside them.


You leave knowing: the best snorkeling and freediving spots in Corsica, what equipment actually matters, how to freedive safely at shallow depth without formal training, and why the Corsican marine reserve system has produced an underwater world that stops people mid-stroke.


No extreme depth. No specialist gear. Just the sea and what lives in it.


In the Maquis -- stories from wild places that teach you something before you go.
