Dive-site story
Positioned off the Genoese coastline at Quinto al Mare, this dive centers around a submerged statue of Saint Peter set upon a mixed seabed. Patches of Posidonia oceanica seagrass alternate with rocky reefs and open sand flats, providing shelter for coastal Mediterranean marine life. Divers typically explore the statue before navigating the surrounding bedrock ledges.
