DIVING

Elba is a paradise for lovers of the sea.

As you dive into the crystal-clear waters that surround the island, you can enjoy all the splendid natural heritage of the Tyrrhenian Sea..
In the delightful grottos and the passages that open up between the rocks, divers will often come face to face with shoals of dreamfish, seabream and wrasses swimming above stretches of seagrass.

The island boasts one of the finest seabeds in Italy, with a rich marine biodiversity and fascinating traces of the local history. You might come across the remains of ancient ships, amphorae and pottery; or you can explore the wreck of the Pomonte, an unforgettable experience for underwater archaeology aficionados.

Both experts and beginners will be sure to find the perfect dive for them around Elba Island. Specialised diving centres organise courses for adults and children, providing all the necessary equipment and the assistance of qualified instructors.
