A splendid afternoon out - A brilliant afternoon out on the water with Umberto and the team. They were helpful and friendly and the snorkelling was fantastic. My 15yo son and I had a wonderful time and saw many fish, tiny jellyfish and (we think) an octopus! We needed to be back in time for our ferry and they went out of their way to get us there. Highly recommend this trip.

Maybe the best value in Italy. - I was alone on this trip with the water still being somewhat cold and not many tourists are here yet. They did not cancel my trip like some other companies would if they don’t get enough people for a trip. The ladies were very thorough and made sure to fit me with the correct size gear before heading to the boat. They also both spoke English and were comfortable conversing with me throughout the trip in English. My instructor, Erica, walked me through how to snorkel correctly as a first timer as I had some trouble with my mouthpiece from time to time. She explained everything thoroughly and wasn’t annoyed by my semi-frequent pauses to reset my mouth piece after I accidentally breathe in some water. Erica also points out things underwater that you may have missed. We saw a Moray eel peaking out from below a rock and eat a small fish. By the end of the trip (we were on the water for about 3 hours), I was confident in my ability to snorkel alone and no longer needed the guidance from Erica, but she remained close in case I needed her. I recommend this to any tourists that are in Elba, you won’t regret it.

Excellent organization but… - ... it's just a shame that after 30 minutes of navigation the engine forced us to return to the port. trip concluded with two short dives with another boat.
