Costa Brava canyon dive with gorgonians and barracudas.
Costa Brava canyon dive with gorgonians and barracudas.
Boat logistics and the deeper canyon profile make a local dive center the practical default.
Canons de Tamariu is a Costa Brava boat dive built around parallel rocky bars and two narrow canyons, with gorgonian walls, tree sponges, and a sandy floor that pulls in barracudas, groupers, morays, and lobsters. Plan it as an advanced-leaning dive that rewards calm seas, tidy buoyancy, and local boat logistics. Book it with a local Tamariu dive center and treat it as a dive that is best on settled summer or shoulder-season days when the canyon walls are at their clearest.
