Boat dive on a torn rocky bar in Costa Brava
Boat dive on a torn rocky bar in Costa Brava
Boat access and the navigation-heavy return make a local guide the practical choice.
S´Esquinçe is a boat dive on the Costa Brava where a torn rocky bar lies across a sandy bottom and drops gradually through a broad, navigation-heavy profile. The route suits experienced divers who are comfortable planning their return line, managing depth, and watching for old fishing gear. Lobsters, moray eels, conger eels, octopus, and nudibranchs are the main life draws.
