Diving the Giglio and Giannutri Islands

The area around these islands is better for much more experienced divers. These protected waters offer a glimpse of undisturbed biodiversity as scuba diving is the only permitted activity in this location. To dive here you start in Porto Santo Stefano where you can stay and also find guides and equipment and then ride a ferry out to Giannutri Island. There are also some good shipwrecks to explore from back before the time when shipping and other forms of boating were banned from this area.

The descriptions provided here are intended as general information and personal experiences related to specific dive sites and locations and should not be construed as definitive advice or recommendations. Before diving, please confirm that diving is permitted at your chosen location, and comply with all relevant local laws, regulations, and posted signage. The responsibility for verifying the legality of the dive and assessing any associated risks rests entirely with you.
