Scoglio del Raviolo
Portofino · Italy
Scoglio del Raviolo is a ravioli-shaped rocky outcrop at the edge of the marine park offering a classic Ligurian Mediterranean dive with dense sponge gardens and prolific macro life. Moray eels, large octopuses, and cuttlefish are resident year-round among the boulders, while the shallower sections host some of the thickest posidonia meadows in the bay. The combination of wall, rubble, and seagrass habitats in a single dive makes it a favourite among photographers.
