A plateau-and-drop-off Mediterranean dive with a Virgin Mary statue marker.
About Grimaldi
Grimaldi is a boat-access plateau dive off Ventimiglia with a contemporary Virgin Mary statue as a landmark. The site gives newer divers an easier run across the broad plateau while experienced divers can follow the drop-off into deeper water, so it works as a layered Mediterranean profile rather than a single flat reef.
