Sottolonda Diving CenterResort

Sottolonda Diving Center sits at Lacona, on the island of Elba, about 100 meters from a sandy beach. It is a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort and a PADI Eco Center, and it teaches in English and Italian.

The range is wide: technical diving with PADI TecRec, freediving, adaptive diving, snorkeling tours and conservation programs, alongside the regular courses. The base has hot showers, a classroom, gear rental and air and Nitrox fills. Days are spent aboard the Sottolonda, and evenings, the team says, end around a shared table.
