About Il Portone

Il Portone is a Capo Figari limestone dive in Golfo Aranci with a shallow start, a light-filled chamber, and a straightforward rocky descent into caves and ledges. It is a classic local boat dive: easy to read, rich in small Mediterranean life, and shaped more by the rock structure and depth than by current. The profile suits relaxed exploration within certification limits rather than fast drift-style diving.
