About Bau de la Punta del Molí
Bau de la Punta del Molí is a boat-dived seamount in Cap de Creus' partial-protection zone, with a long rocky profile that drops from shallower water into deeper ledges. The wall carries sea fans and dense fish life, so the dive feels like following structure through a vertical Mediterranean reef rather than crossing open water. It is best with a local guide who can match the depth band to the weather window, because Cap de Creus is shaped by wind and current.

Local Intel For Bau de la Punta del Molí
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Use the structure for a wall-style route rather than a flat swim. The site makes most sense when a guide chooses the right depth band for the day and keeps the group close to the rock face.
Freediving
Only the shallowest sections suit conservative freediving, and even then the site is really built for scuba once you want the full profile.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the interesting structure sits below the surface on a wall and seamount profile.
