Dive-site story
Located along the limestone cliffs of the Montgrí coast near L'Escala, Cova de la Sal features a wide-mouthed cavern cutting into the rocky coastline. Natural light penetrates deep into the main chamber, illuminating large boulders carpeted in sponges and bryozoans. Divers can explore the illuminated cavern interior before following the sloping rocky wall outside, where overhangs and fissures harbor classic Mediterranean fauna.
