Dive-site story
Located along the southern cliffside of the Portofino Marine Protected Area, Scoglio del Raviolo centers on a submerged rock formation that steps down along rocky terraces and tumbled boulders into open water. Large red gorgonians cling to the deeper rocky ledges, where steep overhangs harbor dense clusters of yellow cluster anemones and sponges. Divers typically descend along the main rocky spine before navigating the coralligenous slope, where schools of damselfish and sea bream hang in the water column.
