PEDRA DE DEU

The reef with the same name is the spot with a fantastic wall that will take you some 20 m deep, although it can reach 45 m deep. The wall is covered with all sorts of life, including sea fans and corral. This is a preferred spot for predators and also a good spot to see lobster on the sea floor.

POTA DEL LLOP

A space with large vertical walls that often go beyond the reasonable recreational dive limits, reaching 50 m in depth. The spot’s beauty is undeniable, with huge sea fans, sponges and corrals throughout.

LA VACA

Protected from the north winds, this complex of well-lit cavities pass through the spot with the same name making this the perfect spot for photographers. The central tunnel is divided by walls and columns that head out surrounded by sea fans where schools of fish pass by. Depths between 11 m and 25 m. Beware of the Rincón de la Vaca caves before the buoy, because they are dark and thin, for experienced divers only.

up

DOFÍ NORD

The northern side of the Meda Petita, with depths between 5 m and 30 m. The spot’s beauty lies basically in its spectacular tunnels that pierce into the island, passing through both sides; this along with a visit to the Roca del Montnegre. The Delfín tunnel, short and well lit, is good for beginners, while Túnel Largo is not, since its vast size provokes quite an impression. This spot is often visited by local fauna.
