About Cova Del Dolfí
An easy coastal wall dive near L'Escala with a cave feature and a playful dolphin landmark near the start of the route. The profile stays simple and scenic, with rocky structure over sand, compact navigation, and plenty of macro hunting along the wall when the sea is settled. Local operators make the logistics straightforward, and calmer windows are the best fit for a relaxed dive. Keep the cave opening outside casual overhead limits unless trained.
