Shallow shore wreck off Pomonte, popular with snorkelers and easy wreck divers.
A shallow wreck off Pomonte on Elba, easy to reach from the beach and popular for relaxed wreck dives and snorkeling. The compact hull sits close to shore beside Ogliera rock on the island's quiet western coast, so the visit is best planned as a calm-water shore swim with good surface visibility, simple navigation, and normal wreck caution around the structure.
