Elba wall dive with red coral, gorgonians, and deep structure.
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.
Safety Notes
Keep depth discipline on the north side and expect the wall to demand more attention than the south half.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; the north side is better left to experienced divers comfortable with depth.
Legal Notes
The islet sits inside the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, so local rules and operator briefings apply.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The south side works as the easier scuba route; the north wall is better left to experienced divers who are comfortable with depth.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the main wall and life are better handled with scuba.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site; the main structure sits well below surface-viewing range.
