About Cap de Begur
Cap de Begur is a boat-access drift dive off Aiguablava, on the rocky cape that pushes farthest into the Mediterranean. The route follows wall-like bars and coralligenous relief with white and red gorgonians, where strong current and changing water reward calm trim, a local guide, and good timing. Late spring can add larger pelagic visitors to the mix.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best treated as a guided drift dive with wall sections, red and white gorgonians, and deeper structure that rewards competent buoyancy and gas planning.

Not a freedive-first site; the drift, depth, and exposed cape profile suit scuba more.

Snorkeling is secondary here; the main attraction is the boat dive around the cape.
