This dive site is located at Borgo Marina in Imperia, Italy, offering convenient shore access directly from a beach resort and a nearby diving center. With a maximum depth of just 4 meters and an average of 2 meters, it serves as an excellent spot for dive training, try dives, and refreshing skills in a safe, shallow environment. Navigation is straightforward, staying close to the shore or following the gentle contours of the seabed.
The shallow Mediterranean waters here typically host a variety of small marine life. Divers can expect to encounter small rockfish, blennies, gobies, crabs, and perhaps octopus in crevices. Patches of Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows may also be present, providing habitat for juvenile fish and invertebrates. It is an ideal location for macro photography, focusing on the intricate details of the small creatures inhabiting the sand and rocks.
The best time to visit this dive site is generally during the warmer months, from late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are more comfortable and conditions are usually calm. For freedivers, the site offers a safe and accessible area for practicing breath-hold techniques in shallow water. For scuba divers, it’s perfect for equipment testing, buoyancy practice, and introducing new divers to the underwater world without the challenges of deeper or more complex sites.
