Dive Spot Guide•
Carall Bernat
Carall Bernat is a Medes Islands boat wall dive with big marine life.
Boat access, strong current potential, and rich gorgonian walls make this a staple Medes dive for confident divers.
About Carall Bernat
Boat-access Medes Islands wall dive around Carall Bernat, usually started from an anchor buoy on the south face. Expect a gorgonian drop-off, a full circuit around the islet, and current that can turn the dive into a controlled drift rather than a gentle reef swim. Plan for a current-aware briefing, steady buoyancy, and close route reading so the wall stays fun instead of stressful.
