About this dive site

This dive site offers a unique experience exploring three submerged underwater mountains known as Els Ullastres, located just off the coast of Llafranc, within a short distance of the harbor. These formations are completely underwater and provide an interesting diving environment. The north face of each mountain is particularly noteworthy due to the presence of vibrant red gorgonians. Navigation is straightforward, with the anchor buoy consistently positioned on the highest point of each mountain. This dive offers relatively easy access and a captivating look at submerged rock structures adorned with colorful coral.
