Dive-site story
Set within the Portofino Marine Protected Area off San Fruttuoso bay, this site centers on Guido Galletti's bronze statue of Christ, positioned on the rocky seabed to honor lost mariners. Divers descend into a sheltered cove of rocky outcrops, seagrass beds, and encrusted boulders. Surrounding reef walls support Mediterranean marine life in calm coastal waters.
