Lago Gardanella, just off the Portofino headland, offers a relaxed dive with a maximum depth of 7m. It’s a gentle introduction to the local diving, perfect for beginners or those getting back in the water. You’ll find small nudibranchs and crabs amongst the rocks, often with good light filtering through the shallow water. It’s a good spot for a check dive.
