Argentarola Nord is a sheltered Argentario boat dive with a wall, a bright cave, and rich gorgonian growth. The site is attractive because it combines easy entry and exit with a profile that still gives you structure and color below the surface. Expect a relaxed Mediterranean wall dive with plenty of small-life interest and classic rock-and-fan scenery. It is the kind of place that works well when you want a scenic dive without a lot of surface drama.
