Boat-access Portofino wall dive with corvina and gorgonians.
Targa Gonzatti is a boat-access wall dive in the Portofino Marine Protected Area, starting near the Gonzatti plaque that marks the site name. The wall mixes rock, Posidonia, coral, and gorgonians, with schools of corvina, moray eels, octopus, snappers, groupers, and passing tuna. It offers both an easier line and a deeper route, so it suits divers who want a classic marine-park wall with clear route planning and calm-water timing.
