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 - Targa Gonzatti offers some of Portofino & Liguria's richest diving. Water ranges 14-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Targa Gonzatti, tucked away in the Portofino area, is a spot we often suggest for a solid Mediterranean dive without too much fuss. You’ll drop onto a rocky slope, home to plenty of dusky groupers lurking in the crevices and schools of painted combers zipping past. Keep an eye out for pink sea fans extending from the rock, and if you’re lucky, a common or slipper lobster peeking from its hideaway. It’s a reliable choice for a relaxing dive, probably best suited for those comfortable navigating a gentle current and happy to explore at their own pace.
