What we will do
The meeting is in Santa Margherita Ligure at 14:00. On arrival, we will be welcomed by the marine biologist who will accompany us for the entire experience and provide us with the necessary equipment (included). Once everyone is on board, we will depart at 14:30 in the direction of thePortofino marine area.
We will sail for about 15 minutes before reaching the dive site. During this time, we will conduct an introductory briefing on the species we will encounter in the marine area. Afterwards, we will don mask, fins and snorkel and dive to discover one of the Mediterranean's richest areas in terms of biodiversity.
After an hour or so, we will re-board and reach the Bay of San Fruttuoso, where we will dive to admire the famous submerged statue of the Christ of the Abyss, which lies at a depth of 12 metres.
Back on board, we will resume navigation to return to Santa Margherita Ligure. During the return trip, we will talk with the guide about the species we encountered during this unique natural experience. The activity lasts a total of 3 hours.
