Route description and fish list for El jardi et la Red.
Port Salvi wall dive with cracks, cavities, and dense Mediterranean life.
Port Salvi wall dive with cracks, cavities, and dense Mediterranean life.
La red is a boat-access rocky wall in the Port Salvi area of Sant Feliu de Guíxols, named for the net embedded in the rock. The wall is cut with cracks, ledges, and small cavities that shelter dense Mediterranean life and keep larger fish moving through the blue. Plan for a controlled boat entry, steady buoyancy on the drop-off, and a profile that rewards divers who are comfortable reading a wall and managing depth.

Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Maintain buoyancy on the wall, avoid contact with fragile growth, and keep a close eye on depth as the profile drops away.
Access Restrictions
In the wider Port Salvi and Cala del Vigatà area, respect seasonal bathing buoys and local moorings. Avoid anchoring on Posidonia and keep clear of marked swimming corridors.
Legal Notes
The wider Port Salvi marine environment sits inside a protected Natura 2000 setting, so anchoring and shoreline activity are regulated in some parts of the cove network.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Wall dive spanning approximately 15–30 m with many cavities and cracks that act as habitats for marine life.
