On the north-west side of Elba near Capo Sant’Andrea, Secca del Careno is a relaxed secca dive with easy local logistics, a gradual coastal slope, and deeper outer terraces that drop away into open water. The site suits divers who want a classic rocky Mediterranean profile with gorgonians, small reef fish, and plenty of room to explore the shape of the bottom.
