Cala Calella

About this dive site

This dive site is located on the Montgrí coast in Spain, near Cala Calella. It's characterized by a mix of rocky seabed and sandy areas, with the most interesting features being the coastal walls. Navigation is relatively straightforward, especially for intermediate divers, as the mooring buoy provides a clear reference point. The dive begins at the buoy, leading divers along the rocky walls, transitioning to sandy bottom at greater depths. The dive is done from a boat, and the mooring buoy facilitates easy entry and exit.

The marine life is rich and diverse. Divers can expect to see red coral, lobsters, and damselfish. With some luck, larger species like barracuda and groupers may be encountered. The rocky areas and crevices provide habitat for a wide range of small invertebrates and crustaceans, making it an enjoyable dive for both macro and wide-angle photography.

The best time to visit Cala Calella for diving is likely during the warmer months (spring to autumn), when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally better. Experienced freedivers may find the area suitable, although attention should be paid to potential currents. Divers should always check weather and sea conditions before entering the water and be mindful of potential currents. The presence of larger animals means that divers should maintain a respectful distance and avoid any contact.
