Grotte à Corail is a solid choice when you're diving in Portofino, especially if you're relatively new to the game or just looking for a relaxed afternoon. The maximum depth of 22 metres keeps it comfortable, and the currents here are usually negligible. You'll spend your time exploring crevices and overhangs, keeping an eye out for moray eels tucked away and small schooling fish flitting about. It’s not a site that will blow your mind with massive pelagics, but it delivers a reliable, enjoyable Mediterranean dive. We’d suggest it for a gentle introduction to the area.
