Why dive here
With 70+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, humpback whales, mobula rays (devil rays) and oceanic whitetip sharks - Bettolina offers some of Portofino & Liguria's richest diving.
The Bettolina offers a straightforward dive to 30 meters, good for intermediate divers comfortable with that depth. You'll find the typical Mediterranean array here: moray eels peering from crevices and a decent population of groupers. It's a solid choice if you're in the Portofino area and looking for a reliable dive without strong currents.
