Portofino wreck dive with fish life and structure.
Portofino wreck dive with fish life and structure.
Relitto Mohawk Deer is a Portofino wreck dive on the promontory, where a merchant ship that grounded after a storm now serves as an artificial reef. The route explores the hull and interior spaces, with deeper sections rewarding experienced divers and the structure sheltering larger fish inside and schools of smaller fish outside. Expect a boat dive with minimal current, good but variable visibility, and a profile that feels strongest when you stay inside the wreck.
