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 - Cala Grande - Punta nord offers some of Portofino & Liguria's richest diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cala Grande's northern point offers a typical Ligurian dive: expect walls draped in gorgonian fans and a good chance to spot red coral if you look closely. The site usually has decent visibility, making it a solid choice for divers comfortable navigating a rocky reef structure. It’s a good option for a second dive or if you’re looking for a quieter spot away from the more famous Portofino sites.
