Trip itinerary

Your adventure begins as our team welcomes you at the airport. A comfortable bus transfer will take you to the marina, where you’ll be assigned your cabin and have the chance to explore the boat. Settle in, relax, and get ready for an unforgettable journey beneath the waves.

After breakfast, your dive guide will hold a welcome briefing, covering the week’s schedule, safety procedures, and other essential details. Your diving certification and insurance documents will be checked before departure. The captain will then set sail toward the first dive site, just under an hour away, where you’ll complete a check dive to refresh your skills. Once done, we’ll head south towards the legendary reefs of Elba—your first frontier of exploration!
