Dive-site story
Situated along the limestone cliffs south of L'Escala, Trencabraços takes its name from the jagged rock fingers jutting outward from the coastline into the open Mediterranean. Divers explore a rugged terrain of stepped rock shelves, scattered boulders, and narrow fissures. Posidonia meadows flank the shallower sections before transitioning to coralligenous walls decorated with bryozoans and yellow cluster anemones.
Series of rocky ridges and natural crevices sheltering Mediterranean fauna
Coralligenous drop-offs hosting colorful sponges, sea fans, and hydroids
Pockets of healthy posidonia grass beds attracting grazing schools of bream
