About Sec de valenti
Sec de Valenti is a boat-access Cap Béar reef near the Bay of Paulilles with boulders, faults, overhangs, and small caves that create a very textured underwater landscape. The coralligenous is rich and sheltering, with white gorgonians and crevice life all over the place, so the site rewards slow scanning and good buoyancy more than fast travel through the water. It is a classic local dive for lobster hunters and reef life spotters alike.
