Dive-site story
Puig de la Sardina lies along the limestone coastline of the Montgrí Natural Park, featuring a steep underwater topography formed by massive boulders and rocky shelves. Divers follow step-like drop-offs covered in encrusting sponges and gorgonian fans down to a detrital sandy seabed. Crevices throughout the rocky matrix provide secure shelter for Mediterranean predators and macro life.
