About Scoglio del Raviolo
Boat-access Portofino wall-and-cave dive with a buoyed descent, stacked boulders, posidonia patches, and a deeper tunnel route. The site blends easier outer structure with more demanding overhead sections, red coral walls, and a freshwater spring that creates a halocline. The easier route suits confident recreational divers, while the deeper route is better reserved for more experienced teams planning a careful profile.
