Deep sea diving in Pianosa
Those who wish to go deep sea diving along the unpolluted sea bed of the marine park of Pianosa may now enrol
Pianosa Island is part of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, which protects the sea area, making it a charming and truly unique place, especially for divers.
To enhance the riches of Pianosa without contaminating or destroying the natural environment, the Tuscan Archipelago National Park Authority allowed regulated and controlled underwater access in 2013; it is an experimental use that the Park Authority permitted only after careful scientific study and monitoring.
This project has been supported by the Ministry of the Environment, the Tuscany Region, the Municipality of Campo nell'Elba, the Port Authority, and the Elba Island Diving Consortium (CED).
Diving routes, access rules, and the authorized Diving Centers responsible for coordinating the underwater visits have been defined.
Visits within the biological protection zone of Pianosa are allowed for small groups of divers accompanied by authorized underwater environmental guides from the Tuscany Region or with diving centers accredited by the Park Authority. The dives are suitable for all divers, but according to the regulations of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, a minimum certification of Advanced level or a level II certification is required.
Dives are possible both within the biological protection zone (following the previously described regulations) and on the reefs surrounding Pianosa. These dives are freely accessible and do not require compliance with the PNAT regulations.
Diving in Pianosa represents one of the most suggestive and exciting experiences; having been closed to the public for 150 years, Pianosa preserves a landscape, but especially an untouched marine environment, and the island's seabed offers divers many surprises, given the variety and type of fish that can be encountered.
Moreover, the fish, not being accustomed to the presence of divers, allow for easy close approaches, and thanks to the incredible clarity of the waters, it is possible to take wonderful photographs.
The spectacle below sea level is truly unique: groupers, lobsters, sea eagles, amberjacks, sunfish, crawfish, barracudas.
It's an opportunity not to be missed.
