Dive-site story
Located directly off the main urban strand of Platja d'Aro on the Costa Brava, this accessible shore dive covers a broad expanse of sandy seabed interspersed with patches of Mediterranean seagrass and low rocky outcrops. Divers typically enter directly from the sand to navigate toward the rocky contours framing the bay, making it a frequent choice for checkout dives, navigation exercises, and nocturnal explorations.
Extensive Posidonia oceanica meadows sheltering cryptic bottom dwellers
Gentle sloping profile suitable for night diving and skill refreshers
Rocky promontories harboring octopuses, blennies, and benthic invertebrates
