Elba wall dive with red coral, gorgonians, and deep structure.
Capo Stella / Isola Corbella is a two-part Elba boat dive on a rocky headland, with an easier southern wall and a deeper northern section for more experienced divers. The draw is the mix of red coral, gorgonians, and busy reef life on the open-sea face, so it suits divers who want a structured wall rather than a flat cruise.
