9. The Corbella

By Stella Cape there is the Corbella small island from where this diving site takes name. The North part of the rock is demanding but very rich in life, Sargos, Greater amberjack, Dentex and Red Sea fans. Here you can also see Caulerpa Taxifolia, the so called killer alga very diffused in the Atlantic Ocean and in Indo-Pacific, but today it can be found in our depth of the Corbella. The South part is quite easy and it’s very charming for its biological diversity, sloping down toward -35 mt there are Red Coral branches and many other encrustations of different very coloured sponges that make this diving point very sensational and fascinating. Not to forget is the Statue of the Bear, placed at about -22 mt, about 60 cm high, that inexplicably reports the kilometric distance between Elba and Berlin.
