Dive-site story
Located along the rugged coastline of the Cap de Creus natural park south of Cala Rostella, Punta del Traire features broken granite boulders and rocky ledges that slope downward into sand and posidonia sea grass. Crevices throughout the rocky drop-offs provide refuge for Mediterranean benthic life, while schools of damselfish and bream hover above the structure.
Network of rocky fissures sheltering octopuses and moray eels
Expansive posidonia seagrass meadows bordering deeper sand patches
Occasional encounters with hunting dentex and dusky groupers off the point
