About this dive site
This dive site, Dofí, is a renowned location within the "Illes Medes" protected marine reserve. It’s known for its extensive cave system, offering divers an exciting exploration experience. The maximum depth of the cave reaches 23 meters, making it suitable for divers of varying skill levels. Within this underwater realm, you'll discover several noteworthy caves: a shallow air chamber at 10 meters, a shorter cave on the south side at 12 meters, and longer, more substantial caves extending to 18 and 20 meters in depth. The shorter cave is particularly captivating due to the natural light that filters through its openings, creating an ethereal effect, and it’s marked by a small dolphin statue at the entrance. Divers frequently encounter fascinating marine life here, including groupers, moray eels, red coral, and spiny lobsters, adding to the site's allure.
