1) Punta Chiappa

Draft of the typical immersion to be carried out with sirocco wind since the tip represents only the true one ridosso from the wind. To earth, a good point of anchorage (15-20 mt approximately) and of departure for the immersion is represented from the pit with perron obtained in the cliff. One heads to us endured towards the tip maintaining the own coast to the left between the 15-20 mt of depth. The way towards the hard tip little minuteren and its I found them, to part some masso isolated around which often find some cernie (not beyond the 20 mt), is represented mainly from one come down gravelly. The true and own immersion has beginning on the tip where it is begun to come down towards the 30mt. In this zone I found becomes them full of rocks of masses and rich Coral splits rich, Gorgonie yellow, Gorgonie red, Sponges, Spirografi and Nudibranchi. Red Gronchi, Lobsters, Tordi, Castagnole, Triglie, Saraghi, Scorfani and large Dentexes are met. In proximity of the extreme tip it is always possible to meet annoying currents therefore is necessary to estimate in advance payment this eventuality in order not to find itself in difficulty during the return distance.

2) Grotta dei Gamberi

Comfortable for who it reaches from placing and often repaired from the twenty, this immersion is situated endured behind Chiappa Tip, between the Sand bank of the Isuela and Punta of the Nameplate. Assured the boat to the buoy it is come down on the same one to approximately 20 mt of depth. Us Chiappa Tip heads towards south on the extreme tip of the cape (). In the part it begins them I found them is pianeggiante with scattered Posidonia and masses. It arrives to you in pressed of the tip the plain is interrupted nearly without warning, I found falls them and nearly endured towards placing one deep is met and buia recess around to the 37mt. Escapes from the cove, if the times decompression do not concur it and making attention with the presence of always possible currents in this zone, can be continued towards placing exploring the rich walls of the yellow Sponge tip, Coral, Gorgonie yellow Anthias, Aragostine Saraghi and Murene. Large the Paramuricee is caught a glimpse instead only around the 40 mt. Returning towards Levant, still in pressed of the Tip but to the smaller depth (20 mt) they are visible some large Cernie beyond to saettanti Dentexes in the blue and Ricciole small. Continuing the return towards the buoy in parallel with the reef of Chiappa Tip I found them pleasant, pianeggiante with scogli is scattered all to visit with attention. Having air to disposition this last still pleasant zone offers surprise being also sfruttabile for less expert, in fact we find: Posidonia, Fins Nobilis, Murene, Saraghi, numerous Cernie and Tordi color to you.

3) Secca dell'Isuela

According to the regulation of the marine park of Portofino this immersion is concurred to one single boat to the time. Draft of a gigantic "panettone" that is raised from I found them muddy from one depth of approximately 50 mt. The hat of the sand bank is found between the 15 and 18mt with a small tooth that of it identifies the minimal indicated depth of 13mt on the nautical papers. E' one of the immersions more ambite of the cape, in fact above all turns out much rich of flora and fauna thanks to the constant presence of currents that feed to them. The flanks more interesting are those to North and South where the cliff comes down quickly towards the bottom. On both the yellow depositors meet the Gorgonie continuations, to greater depth from great red coppers of Gorgonie and cormi of coral punctuated from the yellows leptosamnia pruvoti. Around to the 40 mt mainly on the depositor South it is not difficult to meet eggs of gattuccio coupled to coppers of the gorgonie. Gattucci the true and own, small and timid squali punctuate to you to spot of leopardo, are visible mainly of night. The depositor orients degrades sweetly them very more while that western one reserves, for most expert, some beautiful surprise. Also being an immersion advised to the sub with a little experience, the amusing part more is that one comprised within the 20 mt on the hat of the sand bank where: Cernie curious, Murene, Gronchi in every split, Polpi, but above all branches of large Dentexes hunt theirs prede in front of our eyes.

4) Punta Targhetta

Endured after Chiappa Tip, before the tip that is met heading towards Levant calls Pidocchiaro Tip. Between the sub it is more familiarly famous like Tip Nameplate because of one plate in marble white woman mails towards placing to approximately 3 mt over the tide line. The immersion has acquired the name from the Nameplate. The typical buoy that identifies the situated one resides on rather founds them gravelly discosta from the coast. Heading towards North to approximately 15-18mt large masses are met characterize to you from the presence of yellow Spugne and Gorgonie. Continuing towards Levant, maintaining the masses to own the left a rich wall of holes has beginning and gorges live to you from Coral, Spirografi, Eunicella Cavolinii and Eunicella Stricta (Gorgonie yellow and white women) this last all protesa towards the surface in order to capture all the light available. Typical characteristic of the wall is the absence of the red Gorgonia compensated from the abundant Daisy presence of Sea (Parazoanthus) that they differ from the Leptosamnia Pruvoti, present anch' they in good amount, for the fact that nearly lives in colonies to form of the "small bunches of flowers" while the Leptosamnia to a careful observation is introduced like distinguished animals from the other, in common has the yellow color. Much evocative one is the wall that comes down in the blue and the atmosphere is in a generalized manner relaxant and pleasant, above all with good visibility. In wall it is possible to observe always hidden Murene and Mostelle in gorges, branches of Saraghi and footballs of Anthias that lambiscono the wall coloring it of rose. The advised maximum depth is of 30 mt and the immersion is advisable also as nocturnal. On the way of the return, to approximately 10mt of depth, hidden in part from a large one masso a wide split in a position to accommodating the sub comfortably is visible. Finally, it is worth always the pain to explore between the masses in how much also in this zone the Cernie are easy visible.

5) Punta Bussego

Draft of the second tip that is met after Chiappa Tip. Heading towards Levant it precedes of little tens of meters the Cove of the Hermit. The two tips create one small handle where a.ponente he is simple to recognize Bussego Tip thanks to some obvious venature white women of the cliff. The typical buoy that marks it the situated ones of immersion is exactly posizionata to half between the two situated that is Bussego Tip and the Cove of the Hermit. We begin the immersion directing to us endured towards the tip maintaining the wall to our right, it is come down on the 18-20mt where the Gorgonie yellow and white women begin to introduce themselves. Continuing, it is come down towards the 30mt where the lack in this zone of large the Gorgonie red yields the place to the Coral. Still increasing the depth they begin to introduce itself of the large masses that create innumerevoli holes and cavity to explore with the aid of one good torch. The colors do not lack, and, to diminishing of the coral subentra the yellow of the Leptosammia Pruvoti and of Sponges multicolor. The species ittiche more representative of the zone is: Cernie, Tordi, Triglie, Murene, Mostelle, Saraghi, Sciarrani but... a same immersion can be repeated tens of times, than the Mount of Portofino surprise will reserve us always new. Because of the caught up depth, reaches the moment to re-enter backwards travelling over again the wall maintaining it on our left. Wanting it is possible to spend the last minuteren of the emergency pause curiosando on the wall rather than to go back directly on the signalling buoy.

6) Grotta dell'Eremita

Continuing towards Levant, draft of the successive immersion to Bussego tip (with which of it it shares the signalling buoy). The name derives from a second legend which in this small insenatura, around to the 1400 moved a hermit. It inhabited the cove that erge one ten of meters from the line of tide endured behind to one risen of delimited natural swimming pool from masses to water hair. It is narrated that the cove has accommodated other hermits until the napoleonica age, to the days ours, the income of the cove is hidden from the vegetation. In the first 20 mt of depth we find one franata that it continues towards Levant with large masses but, the peculiar characteristic of the zone is represented from three submergeeed reefs that they are risen from the bottom for approximately a meter snodandosi parallels to the coast to various depths. The first submergeeed reef finds to approximately 30mt while deepest it catches up the 40 mt. Their conformation remembers a lot the grotto that we often find in front of the coast between Nerves and the successes to you countries. In this rich atmosphere of holes and gorges we find Lobsters, Gronchi, Murene, Mostelle, large Scorfani, Tordi, Triglie and the always evocative red benches of Castagnole (Anthias). As in the previous immersions the red gorgonie replaced to minor depth from those yellow and white women lack here but, often they are impreziosite a beautifulst Alcionario that goes from the colors red alive to viola ignited (Parerythropodium Coralloides) and it is developed on hard substrates prepreferring the dead skeletons of Gorgonie or corals. Abundant the nudibranchi and often, along the detritiche zones, they are met very planted in I found them sandy the Nobilis Fins.

7) Punta Torretta

The immersion takes to the name from one quadrangular Tower of defense constructed around to 1560 on the top of the full of rocks spur to approximately 100mt of height. The tip is dived in sea in vertical way, draft of an immersion that imposes numerous visits in how much concurs various explorations more or little impegnative but above all to second of the seasons or the hours of the day reserve various sfaccettature. The signalling buoy is posizionata in a natural handle on the Fruttuoso side Saint on founds them of pebbles. Maintaining to the reef on our right a.ponente tip determined towards the tip. In the first meters abundant yellow gorgonie are met but, continuing and more coming down in depth a wall it is introduced in front of we. E' of obligation a good torch in order to enjoy R-al.meglio all the wealth that this wall is in a position to offering: large Paramuricee, Coral, Sponges multicolor, Spirografi, Nudibranchi, Leptosammia, Parazoanthus, insomma, all the typical flora of the cape is present here. Moreover, the wall, than alone would justify more than an immersion, accommodates Lobsters, Murene, Mostelle, Gronghi, Tordi, Sciarrani, and dancing branches of Anthias. The bottom of the wall exceeds the 30mt while its top catches up the 20mt approximately. Task that this is the only immersion in which succeeds to make to admire numerous and large Gorgonie red also to the neo patents to you, in fact, varying the typical distance of the immersion it can be reached in top the wall and like from "terrazzo" admiring the strapiombo below bloomed from the Paramuricee. From the bottom of the wall us it can instead be directed towards the wide one where large red masses ripropongono Gorgonie still greater. To term of the wall, towards placing we begin the gone back one meeting large Spirografi while to smaller depth abundant forelocks of Posidonia receive us and great branches of Saraghi wrap to you that they remain immovable to half water like in one tropical scene. Just in this zone are always sometimes small Dentexes and Ricciole (a pair of times have had the fortune to meet the Fish Moon). On the way of the return, having the cliff on our left begins great masses to form nearly of the widths and opened coves punctuated from the Leptosammia yellows. Well, here, between the 15 and 20 mt it recommences the timid divertimento since you will find of the Cernie of good pezzatura. By now we are nearly returns you to the buoy and perhaps a po' is dilungato me too much but... from that you will have understood that draft just of an unforgettable immersion.

8) Punta dell'Indiano

Draft of the successive full of rocks shelf to the handle of the Turret, the zone enough is repaired in fact, continuing, heads to us just towards the Fruttuoso village Saint. E' a little impegnativa immersion, is carried out mainly in pressed of the tip to one the depths comprised between the 10 and 25 meters. The wall that is dived in sea in uniform way until the 15 meters, forms numerous crinali to explore with attention while to the bottom of the same wall we find pebbles, sand and Posidonia. The zone offers to Alghe, numerous Sponges and Gorgonie vanished from various gradazioni of color that go from the white man (Eunicella Stricta), to the yellow to the orange (Eunicella Cavolinii). Numerous the Slavering ones that they then observe to us from the small holes of the cliff and Donzelle, Salpe, Tordi and Saraghi. Between the small holes curious Murene and Polpi do not lack, the all encircled from Tanute dancing impiccione and Cromis. Insomma a calm immersion but not for this of insufficient interest, optimal also like repetitive or nocturnal immersion.

9) Cristo degli Abissi

Rested in waters of the Fruttuoso village Saint in 1954, the statue of the Christ of the Abysses has become a symbol for all underwater and one of the more famous immersions of the world. The hands of the statue are found approximately twelve meters of depth while the base grazes the eighteen meters.
For this the immersion is perfect for the first escapes of fine course and for it gets passionate you to it of apnea. But to of of the symbolic value, the immersion in Fruttuoso waters saint offers underwater to the possibilities of always interesting encounter. In proximity of the Christ, in fact, there is one small cove in which they can be found murene and small lobsters. Continuing still and coming down a little quota a gorgonie wall is met and, going back, between the masses that characterize found them, it is easy to meet the hidden cernie. All the zone of the Christ, moreover, is popolata from large dentexes, saraghi and benches of salpe that, for null intimoriti from the underwater ones, very they are lend to put down for one photo memory. For its characteristics, the immersion to the Christ of the Abysses is adapted to all the underwater ones and represents an appointment not to lose for who visit for before turns the reservoir marine protect of Portofino.

10) Parete del Draone

Exceeded the Levant tip that delimits the immersion of the called Christ Head Cross, it begins a little marked bay that remains in shadow the morning above all, it finishes with one imposing full of rocks wall that sinks steepest between waters of the cape. Sight from the sea its imponenza incute nearly fear. Leaving from the bay I found them comes down endured to 18-20 mt where we meet some covered masses of yellow gorgonie. Continuing towards Levant an enormous one masso from the unmistakable shape is met, remembers in fact one of more notices paleocristiani monuments of Ireland, the "Gallarus Oratory", a species of enormous stretches Canadian in stone to dry. This masso prelude to the beginning of the wall, little pinneggiate and we find innanzi to a crena that it comes down towards the bottom in oblique way. Of extreme interest to observe centimeter after centimeter, with the aid of one good torch, the rich fauna of color: Coral, Sponges, Leptosammia, Spirografi and Parazoanthus. Covered towards the endured west all the crena under of we other large red rich masses of Gorgonie they represent a large attraction but it is necessary to keep in mind that lì to two steps the 40 mt are caught up easy for which precaution! If we are disposed to come down the game is worth the candle since I have observed to you of the beautifulst compositions formed from Gorgonie Spirografi and Crinoidi interlaces to you between they nearly to keep company. E' the hour to return behind travelling over again to our right the walls to strapiombo, arriving to a quota 8-10 mt approximately meets an enormous time upholstered from the yellows Leptosammia and Parazoanthus. Finally returning towards Head Cross (zone of the Christ) we can finish the last meters curiosando between the masses to low depth. The fish more easy met in this immersion is: Solitary Saraghi, Tordi, Triglie, Scorfani, Murene, Mostelle, Lobsters and Dentexes.

11) Colombara

Easy identifiable, between the wall of the Dragone and Punta Carega we find the cove of the Colombara. draft, in surface, of a width and little deep opening in the cliff that therefore was called since to its inside nests numerous birds navy. Ulterior element of acknowledgment is given from a cliff terrace, rifinita in concrete, near which the gozzetti of Saint Fruttuoso they often disembark sub and bathing. One optimal point of departure from earth. The immersion mainly is characterized from 3 coves, dipping itself a.ponente of the terrace, just dinanzi R-all'.apertura of the Colombara, is sufficient to follow the reduction of the full of rocks wall maintaining it to our left, in order to catch up before the 3 coves to 35 mt approximately. Much width, buia and without passages, a good torch is in a position to exalting of the thousand colors: Coral, Sponges, Leptosamnia, Spirografi, Lobsters, every space is popolato of life. Escapes from the cove, still continuing for some meter towards Levant are met varied Gorgonie red encircled from dancing Anthias. Finished the exploration of the gorgonie, it convene to go back in vertical along the full of rocks wall, here, we meet a wide one gradone of cliff to whose base is visible a wide split, it concurs an entrance with the second cove. We are around to the 20mt, approaches one the time, the inner space is rather irregular, the colored of the previous one but illuminated cove less from games of natural light that hide Mostelle and Gamberetti. Going back of a pair of meters, placing revolt towards we meet the escape offered from one vertical split. Escapes from the second cove we give a glance to the pianoro full of rocks just over of we, above all of summer, meet branches of large Dentexes. We head placing hour towards maintaining to the full of rocks profile to our right, "turned the angle" (we are in the pressed ones of the terrace described to the beginning) we find one wall in shadow on the 8-10 mt much rich one of Parazoanthus. Continuing still a.ponente we cross one rich zone of masses on the 10-12 mt. The immersion would seem ended but, air allowing, hidden behind a masso we find the last cove. We are to approximately 8mt, we enter, the atmosphere much coloring is not luminous thanks to external openings that give us evocative coming from games of light from the outside. Escapes from the last and unexpected cavern, we can re-enter to the base but... on purpose, in our immersion beyond to the coves it is possible to meet Murene, Lobsters, Tordi, Dentexes, Saraghi and often, very hidden I have observed of the Diadema Curly from the long pricks that remember those of the tropical seas.

12) Secca Carega       13) Targa Gonzatti

We find near Tip Carega, very visible thanks to a white woman construction in concrete that acts as from telegoniometro and from one fixed plate in the cliff to little meters from the tide line. The plate remembers the genovese Dario Gonzatti that in the 1947 lost the life just in these waters. The sand bank that we mean to explore tos be distant little tens of meters from the plate and its top catches up the 3 mt from the surface. This immersion can be carried out in several ways therefore will shortly describe to the various scenes offers from the sand bank. The more spectacular side is without doubt (like for the Isuela) that one exposed to the opened sea, it comes down quickly until the 25 mt approximately, has a gradone here that pause of reflection concurs us one in order to leave again until the raggiungibile bottom around to the 45 mt. On this abundant depositor we find Gorgonie red and Coral while between the numerous splits of the cliff Murene and Scorfani lodge. Throwing finally some glance towards the blue it is always possible to discover of being observes to you to debita distance from Dentexes hunters. An other good point of departure is the placing depositor of. Here the wall comes down forming canalone rich of Gorgonie yellow and white women who, around to the 30mt yield the place to those red ones that they become more and more large and rigogliose as she is approached to us the bottom. Here, if the visibility allows it is possible scovare some scogli scattered on the bottom on the which anchor the red gorgonie prospers indisturbate. Easy to find Lobsters, Polpi, eggs of gattuccio saldamente Tordi fischietto and Curly coupled to the gorgonie, Anthias, most colorful diadema. An other exploration is possible on the depositor that it shows oneself to the coast that, except impegnativo catches up the 20 mt of depth on I found them detritico rich of Triglie, Tordi, Saraghi and Salpe. A last curiosity, a beautiful day in the june of 1995 in this zone we find a beautiful bucket yellow emerging that it was annoying dipped in water, we explore it from the high of the gommone and notice that a strange fish lies on the bottom of the bucket by now incrostato from the organisms navy. We hoist to edge thinking to a died animal, be a matter of a beautiful fish crossbow the beautifulst blue shadings, we timidly begin to touch it immersed as it is in little centimeters of marine water on the bottom of the bucket and without warning after some touch it begins to react in somewhat nervous way, apparently he was not the wounded, it seemed same making a beautiful pisolino in one unexpected lair. Naturally we have replaced it in water leaving it in company of its yellow bucket, as you see between waters of the cape the surprise never do not lack.

14) Scoglio del Raviolo

We find ourselves near a scoglio emerging endured after the sand bank of Dario Gonzatti, the immersion is naturally marked from one of the many buoys of the park. The only sagacity is that one not to arrive to the bottom of the buoy of signalling in how much is arrived beyond the 30mt on founds them detritico lacking in interest. It will be better during the reduction carried out on the buoy arrives you to one sure depth to head for the coast. Heading towards Levant one is met small wall not lacking in interest that prelude to a jump in the blue. Following the profile of cliffs we begin to come down from a high gradone until meeting a large one scoglio that sporge in outside hiding under of he one risen of entrance buia. Without to lose us of mind we begin to enter being illuminated the inside and as for spell we find ourselves to the inside of a wide formed cove passing from enormous masses it stacks one to you on the other. The atmosphere, completely upholstery from Leptosamnia rather relaxant since wide and is illuminated from the high, in spite of the depth is already of approximately 35-37mt you remains some minute in order to enjoy the show. The fireplace laughed them of some placing meter and towards we meet the escape. During the way that has carried to us to the cove we have met Gorgonie yellow, red, Coral, Murene and Dentici. Continuing towards Levant around to 33mt an other smaller cove it is opened on a pianoro sabbioso where it is necessary to make attention in order not to raise a large one "polverone". Still continuing to Levant it is arrived to lambire the immersion dictates Head of Lion in fact shortly before it is curious to explore on 6mt approximately an other small cove much particular in how much source of sweet water that arrives until the sea creates in it nearly of the visions various due to the termoclino and to the density between the sweet water and the water of sea. E' instead possible remaining in zone, after the second cove of the 30mt, to go back directing to us a.ponente where the atmosphere is characterized from masses that create an ideal atmosphere for Cernie Mostelle and Murene. We are around to the 15mt and we meet still large Saraghi, Tordi, Triglie but... while we remain to play with a likeable one polpo, after to have greeted it sbuca outside from null a beautiful tawny Cernia that, with a burning release it tries to surprise the polpo scared from our excessive confidenze. We feel ourselves in guilt in order to have interfered with the nature and for wanting to repair to our bad action blocchiamo the attack of the Cernia. The Polpo is but but, after little we notice to have interfered newly with the nature and then it does not remain to us that to return in surface being hoped to have learned the lesson.

15) Testa del Leone

The name of the immersion derives from the profile of the cliff that in surface, to a height of 5mt approximately from the tide line, creates a profile similar to that one of a lion. The effect is valid single being annoying from placing towards Levant. Also in this case the buoy of signalling near which it can be come down is posizionata on founds them gravelly lacking in interest, therefore it is opportune to abandon the chain of the buoy in order to head towards the coast. Therefore making, we will find ourselves dipped in the small bay to Levant of the profile that originates the name of the immersion. The zone is rich of masses and endured Nobilis Fin receives us one very planted on just founds them detritico innanzi to one scoglio. We head towards placing, until meeting a vertical angle that represents the jump that in surface happens between the bay and the true and own wall. In this point, to our right he is already probable to meet a large pair of Cernie that finds shelter in a cove passing to the depth of approximately 15 mt and often if they are some lì outside to curiosare. Council to continue still towards placing and to send back the visit to the cove for the return. It begins the wall, comes down much steep one towards I found them of 45 mt. The zone is rich of Gorgonie red that given the verticalità of the cliff evocative contrasts with the sunlight create. Beyond to the Gorgonie we find of all, Coral, Parazoanthus, Leptosammia, Sponges holes and gorges popolati from Murene Aragoste and Mostelle. Naturally we are already beyond the 30 mt. Council to observe the wall with attention and the aid of a torch is to the gone one that to the return since turns out truly interesting and rich of life. To the term of the placing wall towards a deep oblique split is found where often a large Gronco is present and, in this zone observing towards the blue small groups of Dentexes are always found often. A possible alternative in order to vary the usual profile of immersion can be that one to detach itself from the wall in order to explore the masses scattered to the base of the same one. The depth increases also beyond the 40mt but the surprise does not lack. In order to cite one, a beautiful day there are finds again to you on the 45 mt to turn around to a scoglio behind to an enormous Fish Moon that seemed firm but evidently we were firmer than he in how much we are not resolutions not to photograph it. Not little interesting the way of the return, we are around to the 15 mt, have as soon as finished the wall (maintained to our left) and we head to the passing cove. draft of a fireplace wide and opened to its top lair of some Cernia, we always exit and we continue the exploration of the masses on the 15mt where, if lend attention you will find more than a Cernia, solitary Dentexes, Polpi, Sciarrani, branches of Salpe and Saraghi wrap to you. Insomma, one great beautiful immersion.

16) Scoglio del Diamante

The zone is situated endured after the famous immersion like Head of the Lion. One acknowledges easy, just innanzi to the signalling buoy we find scoglio emerging a not much large one that culminates with one tip similar to the typical working of precious stones. It is come down along the buoy that lies on founds them of approximately 20mt. Without to arrive on the bottom of the catenary that holds the buoy, one heads to us towards the wall of the cape that is represented more from masses here that give one true and own vertical wall. Coming down along the top, from the great buoy white woman who lies suspended to approximately 5mt it sees endured enormous masso a a lot squared with one top much flat place to approximately 14mt. From we head here towards Levant catching up and exceeding little the 30mt. We meet always great masses that interrupt the bottom formed from pebbles, are rich of Gorgonie red, Sponges, some small Lobster, large Scorfani, red Coral, Spirografi, Leptosammia Pruvoti, Parazoanthus and very hidden the Curl diadema. Finally, watching towards the blue other masses are caught a glimpse more isolate to you but rich of red rigogliose Gorgonie. The zone is therefore rich of fauna benthic, and rendered still more interesting from the numerous holes and gorges that can be explored with one rather powerful torch. For the less expert also a lot interesting wrap it comprised between the 15-20mt, just under the buoy of situated, relaxant signalling of, rich of the smaller masses and life than reef. Just in this less deep zone we have met the greater part of the fish, Tordi most colorful, Triglie, Murene, large benches of Saraghi you wrap to you, Cernie and some beautiful Octopus.

17) Punta Fregante

We begin the immersion from the Tip. We come down on I found them of 10/15 meters constituted from enormous masses that sink in the blue creating lairs where he is frequent to find cernie also of remarkable dimensions. We continue and we come down around to the 25 meters the great masses leave the place the corallifero, Eunicelle and Red Corallo makes from masters. The last masses are situate to you around to the 28 meters and leave the place to found them detritico much steep one. If we take risks ourselves on the detritus we will see a masso vanished in the blue, it is not rare that it is found to us more than 40 meters. Continuing the immersion towards Saint Fruttuoso the presence of the corallifero increases in depth.
We are going towards the sand bank "Dario Gonzatti", one of the deeper points of the Cape. Around to the 30 meters, to the feet of the franata one, we find the first popolamenti of Gorgonie Red (Paramuriacea Camaleon). To this point we return and we go back on I found them of 10/15 meters, is guaranteed the encounter with large branches of Saraghi, Glances, Boghe, Salpe, Cefali. Along the coast feature that we travel over again backwards we find an alternation of franate and paretine that fall to peak on I found them that, continues with the defended usual of more or less great masses, where in the estivi/primaverili months we will be able to meet branches of Dentexes. It arrives to you to Fregante Tip, we can finish the immersion on the inner depositor where the wall falls to peak on founds them of 10 meters. We will see Parazoanthus and Leptosamnia, to the base of the wall we will find long a leak much deep u in which we will be able to enter without dangers of risen.

18) Relitto del Mohawk Deer

Doubled to Fregante Tip the immersion it is endured identifiable thanks to one franata of masses extensive and therefore rather obvious also from the boats. Also the immersion begins on the franata one, around to the 18mt appears the first sheets that preludono to the prow turned towards the mount, on the left side are still visible the anchor. In first part of the property left at death one, that one that extends that is from the prow towards breast beyond intricate sheets finds interesting things, thin branches of Corvine, Murene, particular Gorgonie (Leptogorgia Sarmentosa), strange formations of coral white man and on the Gorgonie Yellow colonies of most colorful Parerythropudium Coralloides even if small dimensions, practically absent instead the coral. Always present in the outskirtses Leptosammia Pruvoti, Clatrina sponges, Anemones, Cerianthus, Triglie, Saraghi, Murene, Sciarrani and Polpi, sometimes some beautiful Hermit crab meets itself also. The property left at death one extends from the 18-20mt until the 40mt, moreover continuing towards Levant to a depth of approximately 32 meters ulterior deliveries of the property left at death one that seppur without shape accommodate interesting dull naturalistic, between these of the Red rigogliose Gorgonie are met saldamente berthed to sheets, around to they instead circulate large Saraghi, Tordi and Dentici. Always in the zone of Levant to smaller depths, that is around 15-20 meters we find ulterior sheets of the property left at death one that because of the rust renders the water of one characteristic yellowish coloration, nourishing branco of Corvine inhabits here rather timid, beyond to numerous Cernie always present to this deep.

20) Scoglio dell'Altare

Hardly we have exceeded Cove of English and we are near Tip of the ALTAR. The zone is identifiable from the sea thanks to a natural amphitheater dug in the cliff, endured a.ponente sporge a scoglio rectangular very detached from the rest of the wall that remembers an altar. full of rocks material is typical of the Mount and is called Puddinga that it means conglomerated of pebbles. On the zone there are two buoys of signalling, one a.ponente and one to Levant regarding the scoglio of the altar. Leaving from the Levant buoy and directing to us towards placing we find one zone characterized from uniform masses yellow rich masses of Gorgonie. Less obvious but equally present they are the Gorgonie white women who raise own cormi towards the high alla the search of small light to cause delle alghe that they live in simbiosi on of they. Still continuing towards placing we meet two large masses (Gendarmi sayings) that preludono to the jump in the blue of the wall. It it comes down beyond the 40 mt through an evocative one canalone and stretches to sporgere towards south favoring the action of the currents. Here the ombrosa wall is rich of holes and gorges where we often notice endured the cormi of red coral in company of the Leptosammia yellows, a madreporario that can be confused with "Daisies of sea" (Parazoanthus) from which it differs in how much single organism regarding the colonies of the Parazoanthus. Abitatori typical of the full of rocks splits they are observed the carefully Murene, Gronchi and Lobsters therefore. On the Gorgonie much beautiful (Parerytrophodium Coralloides is possible to see here as in other zones a red-fuxia Alcionario) that it covers to them. We will see numerous Sponges, and therefore also the Nudibranchi that of they nutrono, most visible white woman-brown is the Vaccherella of sea (). Present also the Cerianthus. Continuing towards placing and with increasing of the yellow depth we will notice diradarsi of the Gorgonie in favor of those Red ones that loves the shadow and stretches to grow perpendicular to the currents. Sometimes on they we can find strange formations quite as the Filograna white woman of sea (Worms) or Eggs of gattuccio coupled to coppers. To these depths sure we will see the small Castagnole red (Anthias). In bottom to the numerous wall a muddy one is found extended where often Worms find Spirografi () but it is necessary much attention in order not to raise a large one polverone and not to see nuller. We begin to go back on the placing side of, we will arrive on "Saddleback" rising on the 15 mt, we lend attention to the numerous present splits under the masses where, if we will be fortunate we could meet some timid Cernia. To these quotas we will meet some typical fish like Saraghi, Tordi Donzelle and Perchie. This last one often accompanies the Polpi that takes a walk very camouflages to you with the bottom. Still salting we will meet between the masses some Anemones of sea. By now we are to the end of the immersion and try to return on the buoy for the gone back one. Leaving from the placing buoy of it is naturally stretched to catch up the same wall but in this case the buoy is posizionata much more in depth on founds them of pebbles therefore will be opportune to abandon in advance payment the chain of the buoy heading towards the coast. In this case, the zone that precedes the so-called the Gendarmi is of greater interest regarding that it is found under the Levant buoy, above all has found varied Cernie also of good dimensions within the 20mt of depths hidden under of beautiful disposed cliffs like of the true and own natural sheds.

21) Punta Vessinaro

Draft of the successive tip to the Altar and is turned out very visible in how much protende towards the sea in obvious way. The tip gives origin towards placing to a calm cove in which it is possible to berth in sure way thanks to the presence of I found them rich of uniform masses. Us it is dipped just in the cove to a depth of approximately 15mt, therefore it is continued towards Levant. In the first feature of the immersion the slope comes down in regular way without large jolts and is characterized from masses popolati from Gorgonie yellow. Around to the 25-28mt it begins a large one gradone squared where we find numerous Sponges yellow, still continuing, under of it it begins the more spectacular part of the immersion. It begins in fact a rather rich vertical wall than horizontal splits they give them which numerous Lobsters, a next on the credit side other, observe to us like if they were al balcony. Present also Murene, Mostelle, Gronchi but above all the dance of the Anthias rose is evocative that is indeed most numerous. Of forehead to the wall there are large red rich masses of Gorgonie that evidence an optimal state of health, truly much beautiful but attention since we find ourselves already to 40mt. The wall finishes with an extract of old net from peach with natte attacked and suspended. From it convene here to go back where we find again ourselves on the 15-20mt and where we have still time in order to explore between the numerous present masses gorge infinity in an luminous atmosphere much rich one of Tordi, Triglie Sciarrani and Polpi. Finally, as last surprise just between the scogli of the tip is visible also from the surface a grottina on the 5mt of depth, he is visitabile but it is necessary to make attention to enter to you since if the sea is not more than good to its inside tries an annoying "maroso" effect.

22) Casa del Sindaco

Situated E' an easy identifiable one because of a "villa" of doubt taste constructed just on the scogli to strapiombo on the sea, moreover, once near the tip we can notice one small niche containing one statue of the Madonna to approximately 15mt of height from the sea. The buoy of signalling of the park is situated to Levant regarding the tip and is posizionata to approximately 20mt of depth on founds them gravelly and digradante lacking in interest. One heads to us towards the wall in placing direction of. tip is smooth, deprives of particular interest and risente of the risacca if the sea is not calm. Attention, this tip reserves a lietissima been strange, to the depth of 15mt approximately split delimited from one spuntone full of rocks is much obvious one, well, draft of the lair of one large Cernia, therefore, fairies in way to pass to the gone one or to the return of the immersion here. The exploration lead within the 20-25mt is carried out in a rich zone of masses and radii forelocks of Posidonia relaxant and are adapted sub the little experts. To these depths the benthic flora is not much rigogliosa, finds little Gorgonie yellow and a little Leptosammia and Parazoanthus. Fortunately the immersion is rendered much lively one from the continuous presence of Cernie, Saraghi, Tordi, Polpi, branches of novellame sparkling and Dentexes that, attempts to hunt we often find again and approach themselves we without fear. Wanting to dip itself more in depth we meet to approximately 35-40mt particular masses it connects to you between they to form of the canyon rich of Gorgonie red, varies Crinoidi, Spirografi to you and some Coral branch, an indeed particular conformation that a reef has remembered us caraibico.

23) La Piscia

Endured before the Church of Saint George, we find a spiovente full of rocks zone on the identifiable sea from some obvious whitish spots that come down towards the sea. Draft of spots left from sweet water sources that sliding for years have given origin to the name of the immersion point. The zone is not identified from the usual buoys of signalling of the park, in fact situated draft of a not operating one for "comparative appraisals" at least therefore recites temporary disciplining of the protected Marine Natural Area, the other situated subject to this definition is Bussego Tip. I found them sinks quickly, and decidedly draft of a various immersion from the usual. To already leave from the 25mt innumerevoli are opened passages and coves many particular, around to the 30mt through an opening to triangle begin a true one just and canyon. It seems to enter in a cove but in truth it is proceeded between two enormous masses that create not closed a long and tightened corridor, through which it is proceeded in Indiana row. From the high the light penetrates indeed creating an evocative atmosphere and as I have already said various from the usual. Also the flora of the zone is particular, less rich than benthos, little Gorgonie red replaced from numerous yellow Sponges, small cormi of red Coral, Leptosamnia, and Parazonathus. Easy to meet large Saraghi, Dentexes, Murene, Anthias and Aragoste. During the exploration of canyon the depth it increases and once escapes we find ourselves on the 45mt. Here it begins according to passage from which laughed them towards the surface even if it is turned out less luminous of the previous one. Important condition for this immersion is the maintenance of a good order in how much those who remains behind first could see very little. Because of the depth draft an immersion with decompression even if just to 3mt of depth we find ourselves an ulterior repaired and opened grottina where we can be stopped for the stage in calm and sure way.

24) Chiesa di San Giorgio

To little hundreds of meters from the Beacon of Portofino the church of Saint George rises. The anchorage or departure point is possible to identify it just in front of the church where I found them comes down until to one score of meters. We head towards placing where, along one come down full of rocks rather marked, we find large at times detritici mixed dark gorge masses rich that create a particular atmosphere a po' various from the usual. We arrive around to the 25mt where with a little observation spirit we can observe Cernie, Corvine, Orate and Saraghi. In this scarseggiano zone the gorgonie even if with po' R-di.fortuna we can find coppers of Lophogorgia Sarmentosa, gorgonia color orange a abitatrice of I found them detritici that remembers tropical exemplary. We proceed until catching up the 35mt where the wall becomes rich of coral, Briozoi and Nudibranchi. We go back, just under the lived one that it rises a.ponente of the church we find to approximately 10mt of depth a wide cove. The income is formed from one long high horizontal split a pair of meters. Entering we discover that the cove knows them towards the high one until arriving in surface. We find ourselves in a dark atmosphere where the light filters solo from high through one the crack. In order to return to the boat we are forced to reimmergerci and to exit from the cove since through of it is not possible to exit from the water. Wanting to set up the immersion from the Levant side we find that the conformation of I found them is much similar one but in this case it will be necessary to come down endured around to the 30mt.

25) Il Faro

This is one of the impegnative immersions that can be made on the cape of Portofino. The reasons of this consideration depend for more on the elevated frequency with which we will find ourselves on I also found them torbid waters having in the first 40 meters one limpid water situation. reason of this characteristic is from searching itself in the depth currents. The course of I found stretches them to lower itself to advanced quotas to the 80 meters just in correspondence of the beacon. First contrafforti of cliff they are reperibili around to the 65 meters. Between these and the last masses of the earth walls a detritico channel - muddy wide to incirca the 100 meters is opened. The width of the channel stretches however to increase in correspondence of the tip of the beacon. This immersion is not advisable to how many does not have already a long experience of deep immersion and, more in particular, to how many they are not psychologically prepares to you to face permanence in torbid waters and buie. The reef introduces lowland with discontinuous course and frequent detritus presence. The corallifero is however rich of poriferi and cormi of large Corallium rubrum that can arrive also to remarkable dimensions. The fauna is of the type classic tied to the deep corallifero. We find beautiful exemplary of verrucosa Eunicella, rare Echinus melo (curly melone), lobsters, and of I shave we can imbatterci also in some lobster. mud presence cospicua allows the development of a mixed fauna of the benthic type and detritus for which he becomes common and frequent to imbattersi in sand curly exemplary. Pescatrici Scarseggia instead the ittica fauna practically reduced to little exemplary of gronghi and, much more numerous, frogs.
