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 - Isolotto dei Topi offers some of Portofino & Liguria's richest diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Isolotto dei Topi offers a straightforward dive, often used for training or a relaxed afternoon trip. We usually find schools of damselfish here, sometimes barracuda cruise by. It’s a good spot for newer divers looking for an easy entry, or anyone wanting to get wet without much fuss. Visibility can be decent, but it's not the dramatic stuff you find closer to Portofino's headland.
