Best for a guided boat run in calm conditions; the bay start is easy, then the tip can pick up current and the return adds caves.
About Cap d’Artrutx
Cap d'Artrutx is a boat dive that starts in a sheltered bay by the lighthouse, then runs out along the cape wall before coming back through small caves and rocky passages. The route keeps the dive varied without turning it into a technical profile, but the tip can pick up current and needs a calm-day plan. It suits divers who want a scenic wall-and-cave outing with easy visual payoffs rather than long swim distance. Barracudas, groupers, snappers, scorpionfish, amberjacks, and low-season rays are the main draw.
