Some of the spots
Nisportino caves: a suggestive group of caves rich of fauna and water springs. The maximum depth is 14 meters.
Isolotto di Ortano. The rock of Ortano is populated by many different species: it is an enchanted scenery full of octopuses, croakers, clouds of breams, moray eels and congers!
Secca del Porticicolo. At 18 meters deep, you will find an sunk anchor from a cruise ship. The site is characterized by vertical walls and a gorgeous fauna.
Lo Scoglietto. This dive is accessible by divers of any level because it presents different steps that progressively require more expertise. Depending on your level you will be able to dive to a 40 meters depth. Throughout the full duration of the dive you will see extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna!
Secca di Capo vitae. In this site the sea currents eroded the seabed, shaping a scenery similar to a sunk city: long walls, tunnels, and clefts. You will be surprised by the huge quantity and variety of fish you will see here.
Pianosa. Pianosa is a tiny island near the Elba Island and it is part of a Natural Park to preserve the incredible marine flora and fauna that populates its waters. The access to the site is reserved to a very small number of diving sites. You must have the advanced open water certificate or a II level equivalent to dive in Pianosa. Don't miss the chance to explore an uncontaminated marine paradise!
