About Dragone
Dragone is a moored Portofino wall dive with coral-covered rock, ledges, and a siphon line that adds a harder route for qualified divers. The easier front section still gives a clear structure and plenty of Mediterranean life, so the site feels rewarding without turning into a loose drift. Plan on a guided boat dive and steady buoyancy.
