Santo Stefano Al Mare

Santo Stefano al Mare is a coastal town in Liguria, Italy, facing the Ligurian Sea. It serves as a gateway for divers exploring nearby sites along the Ligurian coast. The area has several small dive centers nearby and access to calm coastal diving, with typical rocky bottoms, marine life such as colorful fish and macro critters. Given the modest number of local dive sites, many divers pair a day of shore dives with trips to neighboring towns along the Riviera di Levante for varied wrecks, walls, and reefs. The town itself is more about access and ambiance than a diving destination, but it puts you within reach of the prolific underwater life of the Ligurian Sea.
