Punta Persico is a boat dive on the Porto Venere side of the Cinque Terre coast, where a rocky ridge starts shallow and drops toward open water. The route is straightforward and usually dived as a clockwise circuit, with a small cave on the return and enough structure to make night dives worthwhile. It suits relaxed scuba divers who want a simple local boat run, fish movement along the slope, and a site that is easy to read once you settle in.
