About Embarcador del Francès
Embarcador del Francès is a boat-accessed Medes Islands dive inside the protected reserve, starting in a shallow zone on the north side of Meda Gran before easing into a rocky reef and boulder field lined with coral, gorgonians, and dense fish life. The route stays easy to read underwater, with the more interesting structure farther from the entry and the best experience on calmer days.
