Dive-site story
Located off Isola Gallinara in the Ligurian Sea, this site centers on a submerged bronze statue of Christ Redeemer resting upright on the seabed. Rocky reefs and surrounding Posidonia seagrass beds host classic Mediterranean fauna that shelter among the boulders and along the statue's encrusted base. The dive offers easy navigation and generally calm coastal conditions suitable for various experience levels.
