The site's long history and consistent marine life make it a popular destination for divers and fishers alike.

The abundant Posidonia meadows provide shelter for a variety of species, including groupers, moray eels, and rays (seasonal). The diverse habitats within the rock formations attract various smaller creatures, adding to the rich biodiversity found at El Brut. Expect to see a wide variety of fish species, crustaceans and potentially even octopus or cuttlefish amongst the rocks and Posidonia.
