Boat-access wall dive off Marciana Marina with clear water and rich life.
Punta della Madonna is a boat-access wall dive off Marciana Marina on Elba, with the promontory dropping away in a long submerged face full of crevices, craters, and dark fractures. It is a good choice for relaxed wall diving, night dives, and photographers who want clear water and plenty of small life. Plan for boat access, a light on the wall, and awareness of pleasure-boat traffic around the point.
