COSTA DI TOSCANA (ENG)

The sea around Tuscany, Elba and the regions other pearl-like islands conceals an underwater universe. A unique microcosm, in the deepest heart of the Tyrrhenian Sea, where nature, history, culture and art all come together. You will be fascinated by the gentle geometrical shapes only a spirograph could draw. You will swim across meadows of posidonia. Your dives will be coloured with the bright hues of corals and gorgonias. The waters off Tuscany are crystal-clear, providing the best conditions, all year round, for viewing scenes you are unlikely ever to forget. And there is no luck involved: all you have to do is wait. Just have a little patience, and sooner or later, so close you could touch it, you will see a grouper, undisputed star of these waters, swimming slowly by. Or you will come across a haughty morey eel, or be fascinated by the stately progress of a lobster. These waters, a dream destination for divers from all over the world, offer all this and much, much more. Rocky reefs, clouds of damselfish, fans of coral. But there is more on offer than the environment and nature alone. History is also to hand to amaze you. Off these coasts, in water just a few metres deep, the diver often comes across signs of mans passage that the sea has conserved and returned to us with a very distinctive form of beauty: as well as wrecks, one may find amphorae, relics of a past age which has gone but is not forgotten, now almost enjoying a second youth which only those who have the good fortune to spend a holiday in Tuscany will have the privilege of witnessing.
