Bigo

This dive site, Bigo, is located near Portofino, Italy, offering a sheltered bay ideal for diving even in rough seas. Divers typically anchor in 6 meters of sandy seabed before descending along a wall towards the Portofino lighthouse. The site's proximity to the Portofino Marine Park ensures abundant marine life encounters. The dive follows a sloping wall offering a varied underwater landscape. The marine life at Bigo is rich and varied. Divers can expect to see groupers, snappers, and potentially schools of barracuda. The wall likely supports a variety of smaller invertebrates and fish, perfect for macro photography. Depending on the season, other species may also be present. The best time to visit Bigo is likely during the warmer months (spring to autumn) when visibility is typically better and the sea is calmer. Divers should be aware of potential currents, particularly closer to the wall and deeper sections. This dive is not suitable for beginners due to the depth and potential currents, making it more appropriate for experienced divers. Freediving at this location is not recommended due to the depth and currents.
