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 - Malgrate offers some of Portofino & Liguria's richest diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Malgrate offers a straightforward dive, popular with local dive centres for training and easy access. You'll find typical Mediterranean rocky reefs here, with sponges, small gorgonians, and plenty of nudibranchs if you look closely. It's a good spot for newer divers to gain experience or for anyone wanting a relaxed, shallow exploration away from the more crowded Portofino sites. Think chilled-out, simple diving.
