Seasonal water-temperature baseline for Capraia comfort planning.
Capraia wall dive with shelter, clear water, and a deep profile.
Capraia wall dive with shelter, clear water, and a deep profile.
Lo Scoglione is an east-side Capraia wall dive on an isolated rock with a sheltered mooring and a stepped profile. The route runs from the shallow rock face into cracks, ridges, and a deeper drop that keeps the site interesting at several levels. It is a strong fit for certified scuba divers who like clear water, rocky structure, and a calm entry backed by park-managed access.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
12m - 50m
Depth Note
The wall starts around 12 m and drops toward a sandy bottom around 50 m.
Best Season
June through October, when water temperatures are warmest.
Typical Conditions
Current is usually light and the water is described as very clear, so the main planning variable is the depth change along the wall.
Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Plan gas and ascent discipline for the deeper wall, stay close to the structure, and respect park rules and the day's mooring plan.
Access Restrictions
Best for certified divers comfortable with a wall profile and with Capraia park rules, permit checks, and a planned boat outing.
Legal Notes
Capraia sits inside the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, so navigation, mooring, fishing, and diving rules apply.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Follow the rock face from the sheltered mooring through ridges and cracks, then pace the dive conservatively as the wall deepens.
Freediving
Only the shallow top would suit freediving; the full wall profile is better left to scuba.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site because the main structure and best terrain drop quickly below the surface.
