Punta del Traire: rocky Cap Norfeu dive with fish.
Punta del Traire is a rocky Cap Norfeu coast dive with several routes across a mixed rock-and-sand profile. The site suits confident divers who want a flexible plan, reef structure, and plenty of fish life, but the exposed headland can tighten up when current picks up.
