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 - Punta del Turco offers some of Portofino & Liguria's richest diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Punta del Turco offers a pleasant dive, especially for those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The rocky slope is home to good numbers of scorpionfish and nudibranchs, tucked away in crevices and on the sponges. It’s a site that rewards a slower pace, perfect for divers keen on macro photography or just enjoying a gentle exploration of the Ligurian coast. We'd suggest it for divers who appreciate quieter dives over dramatic walls.
