Divers typically navigate the rocky perimeter where cracks, overhangs, and swim-throughs shelter macro critters and typical Catalan coastal fish.
Rugged granite boulders with fissures housing Mediterranean invertebrates
Dense Posidonia oceanica seagrass beds providing nursery grounds for juvenile marine life
Sheltered conditions suitable for relaxed navigation and relaxed exploration
