Shallow tunnel dive in a cove at L'Ametlla de Mar
Punta Galera is a short cove tunnel in the L'Ametlla de Mar area. The passage is wide at both ends, so sunlight reaches the inside and makes it a good place to look for nocturnal life without turning the dive into a deep or technical profile. The useful planning picture is a shallow, sheltered Mediterranean tunnel with small structure, crustaceans, eels, sponges, and other compact life hiding in the darker sections.

Scuba Diving
Short tunnel dive with light penetration; best when you are comfortable with a brief overhead section.

Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary; the tunnel's interest sits below the surface.
