LIGURIA. OUR LAND, OUR SEA It was to fish in the depths of Portofino and San Fruttuoso that, just before the Second World War, a group of friends thought of new equipments. Situated between the French border and Tuscany, Liguria is one of the smallest regions in Italy. The Italian riviera is reflected in the blue Mediterranean Sea, but is also surrounded by mountains that drop sheer into the sea. Vegetation forms the backdrop to some of the country’s most popular and well-known seaside resorts.
The coasts are generally high, rocky, jagged, especially in the Riviera di Levante, while in the Ponente there is an almost perfect alternation between sheer cliffs and sandy beaches. It couldn’t be any other way, the strong passion for the sea finds its place in a unique setting with depths to explore.
“THE SEA IN LIGURIA, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE PORTOFINO PROMONTORY, IS EXTRAORDINARILY BEAUTIFUL AND, WHAT’S MORE, ACCESSIBLE WITHOUT TOO MANY PROBLEMS. THIS HAS PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE BIRTH AND GROWTH OF A DIVING EQUIPMENT CENTRE IN THESE PARTS.” Antonio Cressi 8
