Medes Islands wall with gorgonians and fish-rich cliffs.
Tascó Gros is a Medes Islands boat dive with a big rock wall, coraligenous surfaces, and gorgonian gardens that make the site feel layered rather than flat. It suits newer divers on the simpler routes and more experienced divers who want to work the deeper wall, the rock faces, and the fish-rich edges under protected reserve rules. The site rewards calm days and steady buoyancy more than speed.
