Full description

Discover the seabed of the Island of Elba covered with large fans of red gorgonians and yellow sponges. Get ready for a double dive reserved for certified divers: you will be able to admire the walls, shallows and wrecks that follow each other indeep blue water.

You will travel to the favourite destinations of divers from all over Europe to penetrate into ravines, inlets and natural caves where you will find lobsters, scorpion fish, moray eels and other fascinating inhabitants of the Mediterranean.

During the dives, you will be in the company of an expert naturalist guide who will introduce you to the secrets of the underwater world. Also be prepared for an aperitif to be enjoyed on the boat between dives!

What we will do

We will meet in Cavo, a small town on Elba, 45 minutes before the time agreed upon at the time of booking. We will check that we have all the necessary equipment for the dive while the guide gives a detailed briefing about the experience.

We will reach the embarkation point, load the equipment and get on board. After about half an hour of sailing we will have arrived at the point where the first dive will take place. We will put on our equipment with the help of the crew and be ready to dive.

As we discover the seabed we will always stay close to one of our companions to ensure maximum safety. When we reach the most beautiful spots, the guide will stop to give us time to calmly admire the beauty of the seabed and spot lobsters, scorpion fish and moray eels hiding in the underwater cavities. With a bit of luck we will also encounter sunfish, St Peter fish and anglerfish.

As we return to the surface, we will be enveloped by schools of barracuda, snappers and amberjacks. On the ascent, we will find two emergency cylinders and two octopus groups lowered to a depth of five metres that we can use in case we need gas.

We will embark again and set off again towards the second dive site. During the navigation we will be able to admire the beautiful coves and bays along the coast. In the meantime, we will be offered snacks, fruit, snacks and water, which we can enjoy while relaxing in the sun.

After about anhour and a half, we will have reached the second dive site. We will return to the dive centre after about five and a half hours.
