Punta Vessinaro

Punta Vessinaro is a coastal dive site near Portofino, typically anchored on a rocky, sloping seabed with shallow to moderate depths. The site is characterized by a mix of rocky outcrops, a few small crevices, and sparse sandy patches that attract wrasse, damselfish, and octopus in Mediterranean conditions. Divers usually enter from a rocky shore or via a gentle descent from a nearby point, following a linear run along the seabed with moderate currents depending on wind and tide. Expect clear water in good conditions and visibility often ranging from several to many meters. This site is suitable for experienced recreational divers, with straightforward navigation and opportunities to explore rocky ledges and small overhangs. Proximity to Portofino and nearby towns makes it a convenient option for a day dive in the Ligurian Sea.
