ASD POSIDONIA - Portofino & Liguria

Dropping into ASD Posidonia, you’re often greeted by the soft sway of the seagrass meadow, a crucial habitat here in Liguria. It’s a good spot for patiently observing some of the quieter residents, like the Mediterranean slipper lobster or maybe a well-camouflaged conger eel peeking from a crevice. We’ve had pleasant dives here, watching brown combers glide between the blades and occasionally spotting the flash of a horse mackerel passing through. While it might not have the dramatic drops of other Portofino sites, it’s a calm, rewarding dive for those who appreciate the subtle beauty of a healthy seagrass bed.
