Dive-site story
Positioned just outside the bay of Marina di Campo off Elba Island, La Triglia is an isolated rocky outcrop rising from a sandy seabed. Divers navigate around the submerged base of the rock where fissures and overhangs shelter typical Mediterranean fauna. A notable cultural feature on the shoal is a submerged statue of the Madonna, which rests on a rock shelf and serves as a classic orientation landmark during circumnavigations of the reef.

Rocky crevices harboring hidden moray eels, octopus, and resting scorpionfish
