Protected-park slope with dense fish life and easy pacing.
Boat access and park rules are best handled with a local guide.
Franata delle Cernie is a standout protected-park dive in the Elba marine reserve, with a rocky slope and dense fish life that rewards slow movement and attention to the wall. The site works well for divers of many experience levels, with groupers, schools of fish, and the occasional larger visitor making the dive feel busy without being rushed. The best approach is a measured swim along the slope, staying close to the structure and letting the fish come to you.
