Boat dive off Blanes with granite corners and lively life
Boat dive off Blanes with granite corners and lively life
El Tubet is a boat-access site off Blanes on the southern Costa Brava, built around low granite outcrops beside the Blanes outfall line. The compact rock corners create shelter for moray eels, conger eels, nudibranchs, and other Mediterranean life. It suits divers who want a small, rock-focused route rather than a long drift or wide reef.
