    Rapa Nui offers a straightforward dive in the Portofino marine park, with rocky slopes descending to around 20 meters. You’ll find typical Mediterranean macro life here – nudibranchs, small crabs, and moray eels tucked into crevices. It's a solid choice for a second dive or for newer divers looking to get comfortable with the area's conditions. Visibility tends to be consistent, usually around 10-15 meters.
