Shallow cave-and-wall dive in Cap Salou.
A local Salou or Tarragona guide is the practical choice because the cave line and air-vault grotto are part of the route.
Cuevas del cabo de Salou is a shallow cave-and-wall dive on the Costa Daurada with small grottoes, strong light play, and an easy reef feel. It suits beginner divers who want a calm boat outing and a sheltered cave structure rather than a deep profile.

Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Do not breathe in the air-vault grotto, and keep buoyancy tight around the cave wall. The shallow profile makes discipline more important than depth.
Access Restrictions
Boat access is the normal route, and the small grottoes are best handled one at a time under guide direction.
Legal Notes
Follow Costa Daurada coastal rules and keep off the rock and cave roof when you are in the structure.
