About Panettone Delle Gorgonie
Panettone Delle Gorgonie is a technical secca on Elba where the draw is the red gorgonian crown and the schools of pelagic fish that move through the current. The profile is steep and deep, so the dive feels more like a planned run along hard structure than a casual scenic stop. It suits experienced divers who are comfortable with current, buoyancy, and gas planning.
