About Port del Rei
Port del Rei is a Costa Brava wall dive at the northern tip of Cala Montgó, with a mixed rocky-and-sandy bottom and a broad posidonia meadow. It suits all levels and is a reliable option when north wind makes other sites less comfortable. The coast access also works for snorkelling, and the site rewards slow exploration of the wall, the shallow shelves, and the seagrass edges.
