Cap de Creus park dives are handled locally from Llançà.
Penyes Roges is a protected Cap de Creus dive with white pegmatite walls, orange-stained schist, and a sheltered profile that works well for beginner dives. The route can also stretch into deeper areas for divers who want more relief. Posidonia brings shoals of sardines and damselfish, along with octopus, starfish, moray eels, and lobsters; deeper sections add red coral and other benthic life.
