From a famous Italian movie we borrowed the phrase: \u201cyour satisfaction is our greatest reward\u201d!
This is the philosophy of the Diving in Elba staff, who offer the highest level of service to make life easier for the tourists visiting our beautiful island.

And here is the story of a special day written by one of our clients: You wake up and think, \u201cHere we go again! Work, school, kids, the usual busy day full of commitments\u2026\u201d then suddenly you remember\u2026 \u201cI\u2019M ON HOLIDAY!\u201d And so, calmly, you get dressed and go downstairs for breakfast. You\u2019re enjoying your coffee when your dive buddy walks in. Until yesterday you didn\u2019t know each other, but your shared passion for the sea and scuba diving has already made you friends.
\u201cGood morning! How many dentex were there at Scoglietto yesterday!? Incredible! Last night I looked at the dive photos and the nudibranch you showed me turned out great!\u201d
And you reply, \u201cI\u2019m glad! Maybe send me that photo. Do you know where they\u2019re taking us today?\u201d
\u201cYes, we\u2019re going to S. Lucia, a shoal between Scoglietto and Capo Enfola.\u201d<\/p>\n
You chat while finishing breakfast and then agree to meet at the diving center. When you arrive, the Diving in Elba staff has already prepared your equipment; all that\u2019s left is a routine check, with a few jokes in between, until you\u2019re told it\u2019s time to leave. During the trip, the guide \u2014 even more enthusiastic than you about the dive \u2014 gives a detailed briefing full of naturalistic and historical references\u2026 you don\u2019t even realize it, but you\u2019ve already arrived at the dive site and they\u2019re about to drop the anchor when someone shouts, \u201cLook! You can see the barracudas from the surface!\u201d<\/p>\n
You lean over and see about thirty sleek, silvery shapes gliding beneath the boat.
You think, \u201cThis looks promising!\u201d And indeed, once underwater, you\u2019re amazed by the richness of colors and the variety of species, all framed by a sinuous ribbon of dozens of barracudas following you throughout the entire dive!<\/p>\n
You look at the wall covered with Parazoanthus, commonly called sea daisies because of their yellow color and flower-like shape. You get ready, check where the sun is, position yourself, and take a beautiful photo with the colorful wall and the sun\u2019s rays creating a stunning glow behind you. This will be one of the many memories you\u2019ll look at during winter, thinking back on how wonderful your summer holiday was.<\/p>\n
In what feels like a moment, more than 40 minutes have already passed \u2014 it\u2019s time to head back to the boat. Your buddy is beside you; you exchange an OK signal \u2014 ready to ascend \u2014 nod to the guide who has just called you back to the anchor line, check your gauges, and slowly make your way back to the surface. On board, the crew is waiting to help you climb back onto the boat, and enthusiastic stories immediately begin with your fellow divers: someone saw something you hadn\u2019t noticed, someone wants to see your photos, someone is already planning the next dive!<\/p>\n
This is the kind of holiday a diver dreams of and wishes for. On Elba Island, not only is it possible \u2014 you can experience it in a relaxed, safe, and fun way! A heartfelt thank you to the STAFF of Diving in Elba.<\/p>\n
