Boat-accessed rock route with fish-rich Mediterranean relief.
The site is easy to miss without a guide and is best handled by a local boat operator.
Bolets is a boat-accessed Tossa de Mar rock route built around mushroom-shaped pinnacles and open Mediterranean relief. It suits divers who like to follow terrain rather than hover in one place, because the site is easy to miss without a guide and the best part of the dive comes from moving steadily across the structure with tidy buoyancy and attention to the rock shapes and fish life.
