About Sec de la daurade
Sec de la Daurade is a boat dive off Collioure with dramatic rock formations and steep walls that make it feel like a proper Mediterranean ridge rather than a flat reef. The route shifts through rocky relief and deeper structure, so it suits divers who want a steady wall-style circuit, good buoyancy, and time to work the fish life instead of racing from one feature to the next. Summer is usually the cleanest and most rewarding window.
