About La Pota del Llop

La Pota del Llop is a deep Medes Islands wall dive off Meda Gran, where a rocky cliff drops into a gorgonian-covered face and occasional cave sections. It is an experienced-diver site with strong Mediterranean structure, a marine-reserve setting, and big-fish action rather than a shallow reef profile, and it rewards careful boat planning, buoyancy control, and a calm approach to reserve rules and wind exposure.
