Secca Del Corallo
Secca del Corallo: Elba shoal off Capo Fonza.
Local operator required
Boat timing and the multi-level profile make local guidance the practical default.
Off Capo Fonza in Elba, this shoal rises to a shallow crest and drops through coral-covered slopes, tunnels, and a deeper outer face.
About Secca Del Corallo
Secca del Corallo is an Elba shoal off Capo Fonza in the Gulf of Lacona, with a very shallow top that drops into coral-covered slopes, tunnels, and a deep outer face. The site is boat-dived and works best as a multi-level outing, with the shallow crest for easier diving and the deeper sections for divers who want a longer profile. Expect red coral, sea fans, cracks, and a route that rewards careful buoyancy more than speed.
