Scoglio Del Diamante

Scoglio Del Diamante is a small rocky pinnacle located off the Ligurian coast near Portofino. The site typically starts at around 6–12 meters and drops to about 20–25 meters, making it suitable for recreational divers with a current-tolerant profile. Expect clear Mediterranean water, good visibility in calm conditions, and a steady current that can require a drift-friendly approach. The pinnacle rises from the sandy bottom and is often encrusted with gorgonians and sponges, supporting a variety of Mediterranean reef life such as groupers, wrasses, octopus, and moray eels. Navigation is straightforward around the rock pillar, with several swim-through opportunities and crevices to explore. Access is easy from nearby towns like Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure, with boats typically departing from the harbour for short trips. This site is popular for short, relaxed dives and offers a reliable alternative to more crowded walls in the area.
