Boat-accessible Cap de Creus headland on the Portbou side, dived from nearby Colera or Llançà when the weather is settled.
About Pointe Ocell
Pointe Ocell is the Portbou-side headland dive at the France border, also known locally as Punta Falcó. It is a rocky wall-and-cliff site with sandbank sections and a strong macro profile, so the best dives are slow and attentive rather than fast and deep. Local operators work it as a boat dive from nearby Colera and Llançà bases, and the site really rewards patient divers: nudibranchs, moray eels, octopuses, crustaceans, and mixed Mediterranean fish are the main draw. It is also a natural fit for night dives when the sea is settled.
