Why dive here
With 70+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, humpback whales, mobula rays (devil rays) and oceanic whitetip sharks - Scoglio del Diamante offers some of Portofino & Liguria's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Scoglio del Diamante offers a respectable dive just off Portofino. It's a pinnacle, dropping away from the surface, creating plenty of interesting nooks and crannies to poke around in. We usually spot good numbers of Painted Combers and Rockfish, often tucked into crevices, and we’ve seen Mediterranean Slipper Lobsters here on more than one occasion if you look closely enough. The Bushy Coral and Pink Sea Fans add a splash of color against the rock. It's a solid choice for a relaxing afternoon dive, especially if you appreciate the smaller, more elusive critters.
