Controfrati
Less-frequented rocky Ligurian dive with dens, crevices and sunfish.

Short-boat Imperia dive with a deeper rocky profile, lots of sheltering cracks and crevices, and a quieter feel than the Friars.
About Controfrati
Controfrati is a short-boat rocky dive off Imperia that mirrors the Friars style but sees fewer divers. The site is a dens-and-crevices profile on a deeper rocky shoal, with sheltered pockets for octopus, moray eels, lobsters and the occasional shy ocean sunfish. It suits divers who like structure, slow searching, and a steady Mediterranean profile rather than a busy open-water route.
