Scuba diving at the Corbelli Rock in Capoliveri

You will often see dentexes, sunfish and barracudas around this rock near the Innamorata

Let’s move on to a wall dive, and among the many that the Elba seabed offers, we choose the one at the small Corbelli Islet, located off the Innamorata Beach on the southern side of Elba.

The most interesting spot to dive is perhaps the one that starts from the northern side of the islet. On the rocky seabed that drops immediately to 15-17 meters, there are two large boulders that, resting against each other, form a wide tunnel, with the vault covered by parazoanthus.

Before starting the descent that takes us to about 27 meters, we can spot from a distance, large specimens of dentex, and if you are particularly lucky, the friendly and curious sunfish, or even a school of barracuda. Descending along the wall, among yellow gorgonians and feather dusters, you can admire several species of colorful nudibranchs and occasionally a sea eagle.

However, be careful of the current, as it is often present in this area.

But it is by continuing the descent to 40-45 meters that the wall becomes covered with beautiful red gorgonian fans, and in the numerous crevices, among the small coral branches, dozens of lobster antennas appear as if by magic, while in the wider cracks, some wary grouper and several colonies of croakers and sea breams hide.

To return to the boat, simply reverse course and follow the seabed at a shallower depth. Here, it’s always possible to encounter scorpionfish, congers, moray eels, and a few beautiful scorpionfish. We have arrived where our dive started: the shallow depth and the usually crystal-clear water will make the joy of underwater photographers.
