Elba wall dive with terraces, red gorgonians, and a deep profile that rewards advanced divers who can handle current and depth discipline.
About Capo Di Stella
Capo Di Stella is a boat-based wall dive on the Elba coast, with terraces along the wall and a deep eastern face that becomes more demanding as you move away from the easier entry section. The site is known for red gorgonians and sightings of moray eels, lobsters, and spotted sharks, with the wall also attracting barracuda, conger eels, groupers, and scorpionfish. It is a dive for advanced divers who are comfortable reading current, holding depth discipline, and staying relaxed along a long wall profile.
