- Hello, the Incantu?
- Yes
- Hello Madam, I would like to reserve if possible, 2 dives for tomorrow morning; we will need all the equipment
- No problem, the lady answers me on the phone
- At what time should you be there?
- At 8:30 a.m.
- What is the price of the dive please?
- € 57
- Ok, we'll be there. We need something else, diving level card maybe?
- Yes, otherwise it's good
- Thanks see you tomorrow
The next morning at 6 am, I leave on a motorbike from Occhiatana, for 30 km. At 65:8 am I find the chalet on the port, the diving boats moored to the pontoon and I wait. 10:8 am, a young girl arrives to whom I indicate that I am coming to dive, reservation made yesterday by phone for two divers. Embarrassed, she replied "but it's not here, you have to go to the club, 35 m above the village".
- OKAY. I've been here for 20 minutes, there's no sign, I guess how?
- Uh, they didn't explain it to you over the phone?
Come on, speed up to the bike, put on the helmet, tie the backpack, go wrong once in the club, ask the way to a holidaymaker because there is no indication in the village and get to the Center Diving to be told thatthey are already gone and it is no longer possible to dive this morning.... we actually crossed a van.
I searched and asked who was the person who had answered the phone the day before, but as if by chance,
I did not find it. I WOULD SO LIKE TO TELL HER THAT I LOVE HER.
At 57 € fully equipped, we should think of giving a little more explanation to the pinsuts that we are. You lost 399 € (the 2 booked in the morning plus 5 in the afternoon because friends of Corte were to join us). The person who answered me had to feel that you could do without turnover after the August 20.
Pace e salute!
@ readers: remember to ask where the meeting points are; for me, without precision, I will look directly on the port but that does not always do it.

How many do you need for the final?
Argghhh! I understand that you are disappointed ...
Appointment for a small splash to my home you want. Kisses 😉
Ozi - Indeed it's super annoying when you take the road early so as not to miss the departure of the boat and the place is not the right one - It is certain that a minimum of explanations or indications would not be superfluous to avoid this kind of problem
Ha shit !!! not cool 🙁 on the other hand it can serve as a lesson, for members who wish to go there or elsewhere 🙂… Thank you for this little story, hoping that there will never be a plan like that again 🙁
Kisses ... 😉
Corsican doesn't surprise me !!!!
DE-CA-LA-GE hourly (mountain / sea) Otherwise here = it's the same sea! and instead of paying 57 € it is me who offers you the aperitif !!!!! Bubbles
Hi Hi ! My title is self-mockery, I called myself “pinsut”, that makes me laugh! I would still have liked to dive at the Scandola, all the friends who put their fins there found this very nice place. I will return there starting from Calvi or Porto for the day, there are clubs that do it. The good thing is that I really wanted to dive and that I moved to Calvi. The next day I went to dive at the edge of the Revellata - another reserve that I did not know - and it was very good, groupers on all floors, good visi, new equipment and professional welcome, pleasant and warm at Plongée Castille ( and commercial discount for monitor - thank you).
a good lesson to record for all of us say so but they are not very commercial either they could have indicated it to you.
@Serge: hence the pb; I think everyone is looking on the internet but from where I was, you had to leave the village to have a network, so ...
@Frank: Meuhhnon-meuhhnon, 99.99999% of those I know are great and if you're not good, I'm not giving you the tip of the good aperitif I tasted!
Okay, okay, it's sparkling muscatel, delicious this stuff!
@ Chris: ok, let's have a date, I have a hand with the margarita and the mojito!
Ben damn it then !!!!!!
but do you have to drink it or this pot? ——- not in Corsica you are able to do the same and give me a phony RV. 57 euros? do not get fucked. Currently I dive for 25 euros in Spain by boat with my gear, it is true that it is not an island and it is not easy to find air
in Corsica of course !!!!!!!!
- Hey-bè, as soon as you pass through the Nationale 7 and go to Italy! Do you have ice cubes?
- It was fully equipped; in a bike, impossible to bring a diving bag, we had a backpack for 2. For the price, you currently pay 25 € fully equipped; we double for the totality of the material that I did not have, that is to say 50. And the 7 € more because it is an island and that all that you buy has a price of transport and that there is only 3 months of “season”.
- You lack air? Impossible !! (I'm kidding, that must be the pinsutattitude! Ok I'm going out!)
Pinsuta, I like that one too!
