About Canons

Canons is a Costa Brava canyon dive made up of parallel rocky bars and sand-filled gaps, with gorgonian-covered walls and a route that can run from the reef roof down into deeper canyon sections. It is best treated as a boat dive for divers who want structure, macro life in the cracks, and plenty of open-water fish while moving between the bars.
