GENOA - Portofino & Liguria

The Genoa wreck, resting at 56 metres, offers a classic deep dive in the Portofino region. This old steamship is largely intact, with her bow and stern still well-defined, providing plenty of structure to explore. We’ve found moray eels peeking from portholes and conger eels snaking through the holds; the wreck has become a solid artificial reef. Visibility here can vary, but on a good day, the sight of the ship emerging from the deep blue is quite striking. It’s a dive best suited for experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles and decompression.
