Argentarola Caves - Portofino & Liguria

Dropping into the Argentarola Caves, you’ll find a series of interconnected passages, each with a different character. Sunlight filters through openings, illuminating sponges and some small fish hiding in the crevices. It’s a straightforward cave system, suitable for divers comfortable in overhead environments who want something beyond a simple reef dive. We’d suggest a dive light to really pick out the details.
