XR SCUBA ACADEMY A.S.D. - Portofino & Liguria
XR Scuba Academy operates out of Portofino, putting you right on the doorstep of the Portofino Marine Protected Area. They focus on local dive sites, many of which are boat dives suitable for open water divers and above. We'd suggest them for divers looking to explore the statues and wreck sites common in this popular Ligurian stretch of coast. Expect a mix of reef and wall dives, often with decent visibility in summer.
