Navigation-style boat dive at Pic de les Morenes
Navigation-style boat dive at Pic de les Morenes
The port-side setup and navigation profile are most practical with a local dive-center outing.
Pic de les Morenes is a Costa Brava navigation dive just in front of Platja d'Aro port, where an underwater rock rises from a sandy bottom and hides a surprising amount of life. The route is short and compact, but it still rewards clean buoyancy and a steady line through cavities, open sand, and small rock features. Calm days make the site feel easy; windy Tramuntana conditions can change visibility quickly, so the dive is best planned around weather and port-side traffic.
