About Picchi di Pablo
Picchi di Pablo is a boat-access wall dive off Elba where two pinnacles sit above a steep rock face that drops into a deeper cave and sandy base. The site is famous for its coralligenous colors, fish clouds, and photographer-friendly crevices, and it works as a controlled boat dive for divers who can handle a little depth and an overhead feature near the lower end.
