Esimio sub Diving Center - Portofino & Liguria

Esimio sub Diving Center sits in the heart of the Portofino Marine Protected Area, a pretty decent spot to get into the Ligurian Sea. You’ll likely start your dives from a boat, heading to sites where the rocky reef drops away, revealing common Mediterranean inhabitants. Think schools of salema glinting in the shafts of sunlight, painted combers darting in and out of crevices, and if you’re lucky, a grumpy-looking sea scorpion blending perfectly into the rock. Keep an eye out for pink sea fans adorning the walls, and the occasional bushy coral, a nice contrast to the more familiar gorgonians. It’s a solid choice for those looking for straightforward diving in a picturesque Italian setting.
