Boat-access Cap de Creus islets with gorgonians and fish
Boat access and park rules make local operator support the normal way to dive this site.
Punta dels Farallons is a boat dive inside Cap de Creus Natural Park, built around maze-like upright islets and corridors of rock. Red gorgonians and coral growth line the walls, while tuna, sunfish, and banks of fish often show up when the sea is a bit choppy. It suits experienced teams that want time to work the labyrinth and the outer faces rather than a simple point-to-point swim.
