About Coves de Port Salvi
Coves de Port Salvi is a shore-access cave route on the Costa Brava, where a canyon leads into a wide underwater chamber and back out through a second exit. The dive is all about rock, tunnels, and interior light play, with scorpionfish, octopus, groupers, and other reef life around the entrance and blue-water exit. The approach sits in front of Port Salvi, so the entry is a short shore walk rather than a long boat run, but it still demands careful cave-ready planning.
