About this site
A submerged pinnacle off Portofino, this site features a bronze Christ statue at 17 meters, surrounded by colorful gorgonians and sponges. Schools of barracuda and dentex patrol the rocky slopes, while moray eels hide in crevices. The clear waters offer excellent conditions, with mild currents and visibility often exceeding 20 meters. The shoal drops to 40 meters, attracting pelagic life. Ideal for photographers and divers of all levels.
