This dive site, Grimaldi 2, is located opposite the picturesque village of Grimaldi, Italy. It features a diverse rocky reef with numerous hiding places and interesting topography. Unlike its busier counterpart, Grimaldi 1, this site offers a more serene diving experience with untouched marine life. Navigation involves exploring the rocky structures and their crevices, which provide shelter for various species.
The marine environment here is exceptionally rich, boasting abundant gorgonians covering the rocks. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of pelagic fish, including sizeable groupers and barracudas. From May to July, there is also the exciting possibility of spotting mola mola (sunfish) in the area.
The best time to visit Grimaldi 2 is between May and July, particularly for those hoping to see mola mola. Its relatively less dived status ensures a vibrant ecosystem. It is highly suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers looking for rich biodiversity and varied underwater landscapes, offering excellent opportunities for wide-angle and macro photography.
