More specifically, most talk about the dramatic cave systems that surround St Elmo\u2019s Rock. This is a great place for some awesome wildlife spots, but is one for the more experienced, adventurous traveller. Stintino, along the coast, is a little better suited to first-timers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13818\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/sardinia-min.jpg\" alt=\"diving sardinia italy\" width=\"550\" height=\"320\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Elba island: a world renown scuba diving spot<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All divers that favour Italian waters need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/en\/yacht-charter-mediterranean\/italy\/tuscany\/elba.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dive around Elba<\/a> at least once. This island lies within <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/en\/yacht-charter-mediterranean\/italy\/tuscany\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Tuscan Archipelago<\/a> National Park and is home to a vast array of species. Visitors can marvel at sunfish, rays, moray eels and other giants of the deep. There is also an underwater museum of statues, for something a little different. The islands around Italy are all popular with divers, although Elba does stand out. Still, you don\u2019t have to head so far out from the mainland, as our next option shows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13820\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Scuba_diving_elba-min-595x446.jpg\" alt=\"scuba diving elba island italy\" width=\"595\" height=\"446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Scuba_diving_elba-min-595x446.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Scuba_diving_elba-min-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Scuba_diving_elba-min-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Scuba_diving_elba-min-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Scuba_diving_elba-min-1068x801.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Scuba_diving_elba-min-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Scuba_diving_elba-min-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Scuba_diving_elba-min-265x198.jpg 265w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Scuba_diving_elba-min.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rome: the best diving places around Italian&#8217;s capital<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When travellers talk about Rome, they are generally focused on the more terrestrial wonders of Italy\u2019s capital. Yet, there is more to this city then the art, architecture, and cuisine in its centre. There are actually two dive sites here that will appeal to divers for different reasons. Those with an interest in marine biology will love the Costacuti Reef and its red sea fans; those that love to dive around wrecks will be amazed by the preservation of the WWII ship Saint Lucia.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13816\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/S.Lucia_-681x1024-min-595x895.jpg\" alt=\"diving rome italy\" width=\"595\" height=\"895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/S.Lucia_-681x1024-min-595x895.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/S.Lucia_-681x1024-min-279x420.jpg 279w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/S.Lucia_-681x1024-min.jpg 681w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lake Garda: an unusual dive close to the Italian alps<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then there are those that might prefer to try a little freshwater diving on Italy\u2019s mainland. One of the best places to give this a try is in Lake Garda. This location is spectacular and it is a great idea to view it from as many angles as possible. This means surveying the breadth of the lake from above, but also the depth beneath the surface. There is visibility of around 10m and lots of interesting fish to meet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-13814\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lake-garda-italy-water-tree-coast-lake-1460557-pxhere.com-min-595x409.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"595\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lake-garda-italy-water-tree-coast-lake-1460557-pxhere.com-min-595x409.jpg 595w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lake-garda-italy-water-tree-coast-lake-1460557-pxhere.com-min-218x150.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lake-garda-italy-water-tree-coast-lake-1460557-pxhere.com-min-696x479.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lake-garda-italy-water-tree-coast-lake-1460557-pxhere.com-min-611x420.jpg 611w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lake-garda-italy-water-tree-coast-lake-1460557-pxhere.com-min-100x70.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.wiyachts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/lake-garda-italy-water-tree-coast-lake-1460557-pxhere.com-min.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sorrento and Baia: the hidden diving gems close to Naples<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This last destination in these top dive spots in Italy isn\u2019t one of the most popular.
