About this site
A stunning wall dive off Elba Island, draped in vibrant red gorgonians. The vertical drop starts at 15 meters, plunging to over 40 meters with excellent visibility. Schools of barracuda and groupers patrol the wall while moray eels peek from crevices. Currents can be strong, making it ideal for drift diving. The site offers dramatic overhangs and swim-throughs, perfect for advanced divers. Water temperatures range from 16°C in winter to 26°C in summer.
