Dive-site story
Located along the rugged Montgrí coastline north of L'Estartit, Negre del Falaguer features a dramatic underwater rock face dotted with crevices, overhangs, and small caverns. The rocky wall descends toward a mixed seafloor of boulders and sand, providing varied terrain where Mediterranean fish shelter. Divers explore the wall and isolated rock formations while inspecting shady recesses covered in sponges and bryozoans.
Fissured limestone drop-off featuring shadowed crevices and small swim-throughs
Gorgonian sea fans and encrusting sponges coating the vertical walls
Abundant macro subjects hiding in rock cavities along the boulder field
