La Muladera / Roca del Moro is a Costa Brava boat dive built around a narrow canyon between two rocky outcrops. The route follows the wall south over varied stone formations and classic Mediterranean habitat, with enough structure to make the site easy to read and interesting for divers who like steady orientation, rocky terrain, and regular marine life.

Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Use the anchor line for descent and ascent, stay close to the walls, and avoid the site when wind or swell makes the boat handling awkward.
Access Restrictions
No shore entry; the site is reached by boat and works best when the sea is calm enough for a tidy anchor setup.
Legal Notes
No special permit requirement is highlighted for the site itself.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The dive drops from the anchor line into the canyon and follows the wall south over rocky bottom. The shallow rock tops give a simpler line, while the deeper section gives the site its full shape.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive site. The deeper canyon section is better suited to scuba than breath-hold diving.
Snorkeling
Only the shallow rock tops would suit snorkeling on very calm days; the main canyon route is a scuba dive.
