Secca dello Scalino - Portofino & Liguria

Secca dello Scalino is a good spot for newer divers in Portofino, holding steady at 16 meters. The rock formation itself isn't particularly dramatic, but look closely and you'll find plenty of small Mediterranean species hiding in the crevices. We often spot moray eels and octopuses here, sometimes scorpionfish too. It’s a gentle dive, good for getting comfortable in the water.
