About Figarola
Figarola is a boat-dived Cap de Creus reef off Port de la Selva, with rocky blocks, ledges, and a deeper sand edge. It is sheltered from the tramuntana on better days, so the dive usually stays relaxed rather than committing to a hard drift. Expect Mediterranean macro life in the cracks, with larger fish moving through the wider area. Plan it with a local operator who can judge wind and launch timing.
