Punta della Madonna - Portofino & Liguria

Punta della Madonna delivers a classic Portofino dive, with steep walls covered in red gorgonian fans. We've seen good numbers of moray eels here, tucked into crevices, and sometimes a passing dentex. It’s generally a relaxed drift, suitable for most open water divers, though we’d suggest good buoyancy control to avoid damaging the delicate corals.
