About Punta San Francesco
Punta San Francesco is a moored Giannutri wall dive in the Tuscan Archipelago marine park, with two buoys over a rocky bottom and a line that drops into coralligenous wall country. The shallow mooring zone is easy to organize, but the real dive quickly becomes a deeper profile where gorgonians, sponges, and dense fish life take over. It is a site for controlled buoyancy, good gas discipline, and a calm pace rather than a casual reef swim.

Safety & Access At Punta San Francesco
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Restricted access
Safety Notes
The mooring line keeps the entry simple, but the wall gets deep quickly and the park rules matter; stay disciplined on gas and turnaround depth.
Access Restrictions
Giannutri access is governed by park zoning, so do not assume the whole shoreline is open; use the designated moorings and authorized dive setup only.
Legal Notes
Zone 1 is closed to diving and anchoring, while Zone 2 is regulated by the Park Authority.
Local Intel For Punta San Francesco
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Start at the buoys, settle into the wall, and leave the deeper section for divers comfortable with a longer wall profile.
Freediving
The shallow mooring zone may suit very confident freedivers, but the wall profile is really a scuba-first dive.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling only works in the shallow mooring area; the main wall sits too deep for a snorkel-first plan.
