Best for advanced divers, 3-30m, boat entry, moderate current.
Pianosa Boa 2 is a complex site off Elba Island featuring a mix of reef, pinnacle, wall, and cave structures. Divers can explore depths ranging from 3 to 30 metres, with an average depth of 14 metres. The site requires boat access and is suited for advanced divers due to moderate currents that can accelerate near the pinnacle and cave entrances. Visibility typically spans 10 to 30 metres. Divers should manage buoyancy carefully when navigating the overhead environments and monitor depth to mitigate risks of nitrogen narcosis and decompression. Air fills are available for those planning their 50-minute dives.

Nitrogen narcosis becomes a real factor below 25 metres on this site, so brief your team and agree on turn-around signals before descending. Time your entry to hit slack water at the cave sections, then use the building current to drift the wall on the way back to the shot line.
