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 - PACE offers some of Portofino & Liguria's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Pace wreck, sitting in Portofino’s shallow waters, is a great spot if you’re looking for a relaxed dive or even some snorkeling. We’re talking about a small tugboat, completely broken into sections, which means you can really get a feel for its original shape without going deep. Because it’s so shallow, light penetrates right to the seabed, illuminating the schools of damselfish darting between the metal plates and the occasional octopus peeking from beneath a rusty beam. It's an easy dive, perfect for photographers wanting to play with ambient light or anyone just wanting a chill dip in the Mediterranean.
