Dive-site story
Situated along the rocky Montgrí coastline north of L'Estartit, Les Salines features a rugged Mediterranean underwater landscape shaped by steep drop-offs, scattered granite boulders, and sheltered overhangs. Divers navigate around rocky promontories where fissures harbor macro life, before dropping down towards sandy corridors and Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows that blanket the seabed.
Fissured rock faces hosting abundant Mediterranean invertebrates and nudibranchs
Sheltered overhangs where dusky groupers and moray eels lurk in crevices
Expansive Posidonia meadows providing refuge for schools of juvenile fish
