About Ullastre III
Ullastre III is the deepest and most exposed of the three Ullastres on the Costa Brava, with a steep gorgonian wall, rocky shoulders, and deeper blue-water sections that reward good buoyancy. It is a strong choice for divers who want a scenic Mediterranean pinnacle, regular schooling fish, and a profile that stays interesting from the crest down.

Local Intel For Ullastre III
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as an operator-planned dive with depth discipline and strong buoyancy. The north wall and blue-water edge are the main draws.
Freediving
Not a strong freedive target because the structure quickly drops beyond relaxed breath-hold profiles.
Snorkeling
Only the crest makes sense for snorkeling, and even then only on calm, well-briefed days.
