Santa Lucia Bank - Portofino & Liguria

Santa Lucia Bank gives divers a taste of the Ligurian Sea's deeper attractions. We found good gorgonian coverage, particularly red fan corals, clinging to the rocky slopes. Keep an eye out for lobsters tucked into crevices and the occasional passing pelagic. It's a solid choice for experienced divers comfortable with moderate currents looking for classic Mediterranean reef scenes.
