    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    Punta Mesco offers a straightforward Mediterranean dive, good for those looking for an easy afternoon in the water. You'll find the typical Ligurian rock formations, with moray eels peeking out from crevices and small schools of damselfish flitting about. It's a relaxed spot, perfect for divers who prefer calmer conditions and don't need dramatic drop-offs. We'd suggest it for an unpressured second dive.
