    Saraghi-Imperia, at 18 meters, offers a gentle introduction to Portofino's underwater world. It's an easy dive, perfect for those getting comfortable in the Mediterranean, with depths that don't push beyond 20 meters. You'll often find schools of damselfish flitting around the low-lying rocks, and we've spotted the occasional octopus tucked into crevices. The currents here are usually mild, making it a relaxing spot to just cruise along and enjoy the clarity on a good day. It’s a solid pick for divers looking for a straightforward, pleasant dive without any surprises.
