About Punta Dei Ripalti
Punta Dei Ripalti is a southern Elba boat dive built around a rocky start, a wall, and a deeper secca covered in red gorgonians. The site has a classic Mediterranean wall profile: big stones near shore, blue water off the edge, and plenty of ledges and caves where fish hold up. It is the kind of dive that rewards good buoyancy, a steady pace, and comfort with current, because the best parts of the site sit along the wall and out into the blue.
