Scoglio del Remaiolo is a remote Elba boat dive.
Remote Elba boat dive off the Punta Ripalti side of Costa dei Gabbiani, centered on an outcropping rock with two distinct profiles. One route circles the rock on a gentler line for less demanding dives; the other follows a steep southern wall into open water and rewards careful buoyancy with gorgonians, sponges, and regular fish passes when the sea is settled.
Conservative baseline from public research. No community dives logged yet.
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth

Depth Note
One circuit circles the rock around 10-20 m; the southern wall drops to about 55 m.

Typical Conditions
Boat-run, rocky, open-water conditions with possible current and generally good visibility; the gentle circuit stays close to the rock, while the wall is more serious.
Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
The southern ridge reaches around 50 m; plan depth and gas accordingly and stay within training and experience limits.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only for normal visits; the land approach is restricted and this is not a casual shore entry.
Legal Notes
The land approach across Monte Calamita is restricted, so routine access is by boat or an operator-arranged route.

Scuba Diving
Northern side is suitable for Open Water divers; southern ridge extends to about 50 m.

Only the shallow circuit would suit very experienced freedivers; this is primarily a scuba boat dive.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the main structure and marine life sit below the surface and are better reached on scuba.
