A boat dive in the Medes reserve with rocky slopes, a canyon-like profile, and route choices that depend on wind and current. Best for divers who can read conditions.
About Tascó Petit
Tascó Petit is the southernmost Medes islet, with a varied rocky profile that moves from a narrow channel and gentle slopes into a deeper canyon and wall. Together with Carall Bernat and Tascó Gros, it gives several route options, but it still rewards careful wind- and current-aware planning. Expect coralligenous reef, red gorgonians, dense fish life, and summer grouper activity shaping the dive.

Scuba Diving
A boat dive with route choices from the shallower channel side into a canyon and wall section. Best when the team is comfortable adjusting the turn point to the day’s current.
Freediving
Only for very experienced freedivers on calm days; the exposed, current-aware profile makes scuba the better default.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site; only the calmest shallow margins are realistic, and only when the reserve operator says conditions are quiet.
