Talas Diving Center

Set on the southern side of Elba in Lido di Capoliveri, Talas Diving Center has welcomed sea lovers since 1993. As a PADI Five Star Diving Center with three PADI Instructors, it caters equally to experienced divers and first-timers chasing the thrill of their very first breath underwater. The centre sits just 100 metres from a well-equipped sandy beach and only a few minutes by boat from the finest dive sites of the Tuscan archipelago.

Courses and diving

Whether you want to try PADI Discover Scuba Diving with a single dive (from USD 179), earn your PADI Open Water Diver certification through eLearning, book a six-dive package, or explore Pianosa Marine National Park, there's a path for every level. Enriched air (Nitrox) is available, with refills right on board.

The fast, spacious boat reaches sites all around Elba and near the island of Pianosa — think Sasso che Bara, La Triglia, Cape Morcone, Capo Fonza and Corbella. Modern facilities, an onsite training pool, a peaceful garden, parking and free Wi-Fi round out the stay.
