Shore dive a Punta Nave, Vesima.
About Punta Nave
Punta Nave è un’immersione costiera a Vesima, a ovest di Genova, con accesso da spiaggia e un profilo di rocce, scogli e muretto sommerso che rende il giro breve ma pieno di dettagli. Si entra dal parcheggio con una scalinata ripida e si segue la punta tenendo d’occhio anfratti, alghe e posidonia, dove la vita si concentra più che nel tracciato in sé. È un sito facile da leggere in acqua calma e funziona bene come shore dive tranquilla, anche in notturna.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Watch footing on the staircase and keep the outer point conservative when the sea is moving. The site is forgiving in calm water, but the open-water side of the point deserves respect.
Access Restrictions
Treat it as a beach-entry dive with local orientation; the staircase, road crossing and shoreline setup are part of the logistics.
Legal Notes
Respect the coastal setting and avoid disturbing fixed structures or marine life on the point.
Local Intel For Punta Nave
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Start from the beach, then follow the rocky point and the artificial muretto while keeping a close eye on the nooks and life on the rocks.
Freediving
The shallow rocky margins are the best freedive use case, but the main route is still more comfortable as a scuba shore dive.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is most useful right off the beach and around the shallow rocks; the point itself rewards calm water and careful finning.
