Les Cambres: boat-access wall dive with an arch, tunnel, and macro life.
A guide is required to safely navigate the narrow tunnel.
Les Cambres is a boat-access dive in L'Escala with a rocky arch, a wall full of crevices and outcrops, and an easy depth range that keeps it usable for beginner practice. A short tunnel nearby adds the site's main technical wrinkle, so the dive is as much about slow navigation and buoyancy control as it is about scenery. The site is good for relaxed daytime wall cruising and macro hunting when conditions are calm.
