About this dive site
This dive site, Scoglietto - Franata delle Cernie, is located off the coast of Elba, Italy, and is renowned for its exceptional marine life. The dive site itself is characterized by diverse underwater topography, offering opportunities for exploration and observation of various marine species. Navigating the site is relatively straightforward, with a gentle sloping seabed and clear visibility allowing for easy orientation.
The site is teeming with an abundance of fish, notably groupers of varying sizes. Barracudas, snappers, bream, and salps are commonly observed. Other notable species, though not always present, include eagle rays and sunfish. The area's rich biodiversity indicates a thriving ecosystem, offering divers a visually stunning and engaging experience.
The best time to visit is during the warmer months (spring to autumn), when water temperatures are pleasant, visibility is at its best, and the probability of encountering larger pelagic species is higher. While suitable for all diving levels, the presence of currents can be mild and should be considered, especially by less experienced freedivers. It's always advisable to check current conditions before diving.
