Dive Spot Guide•
Illa Pedrosa
Illa Pedrosa is a boat dive with a broad tunnel and rocky outer route.
Local operator required
Park-controlled access and the overhead section make this a local-operator dive rather than a self-guided shore entry.
Use a short boat ride from L'Estartit; the tunnel is for confident divers, while the outside circuit is the simpler option.
About Illa Pedrosa
Illa Pedrosa is a boat-accessed Montgri coast dive built around a broad tunnel through the island and a rocky outer route. The tunnel is the signature feature, while the outside circuit gives a simpler option for divers who stay off the overhead section. Expect protected-reserve scenery with sponges, coralligenous growth, octopus, moray eels, nudibranchs, and other Mediterranean life. It is best planned with a local operator in settled conditions and a clear buoyancy plan.
