Dive center

Since 2002 our philosophy is to provide the most demanding diver with a very personal dive experience with maximum 10 divers per boat, 5 divers per instructor or divemaster, to guarantee the highest standards of comfort before, during and after the dive. What's more, we insist on the same level of training and/or experience for all those taking part in the dive team, in order to optimise the choice of dive site and assure a safe, extensive and enjoyable dive for all. All dive trips are led by local instructors who have in-depth knowledge of the different habitats of the Portofino promontory and are dedicated custodians of its treasures. No matter the distance and time it takes to get there, Susanna and Bruno will focus on taking you the very best dive sites and the many surprising wrecks Portofino has to offer.
