La Pota del Llop

About this dive site

This dive site, La Pota del Llop, is an extension of the Pedra de Déu walls, located in the east. The name translates to "Wolf's Paw", derived from a rock formation resembling a wolf's footprint on the outer wall. Navigation is straightforward, following the wall along its eastward trajectory. The site's history is likely tied to the larger geological formations of the area, although specific historical information may require further research.

The diverse marine life makes this site a highlight. Expect to see impressive gorgonian walls (Paramuricea Clavata), a variety of corals, groupers, moray eels, and other fish species common to the Mediterranean. The abundance of life offers opportunities for both macro and wide-angle photography.

The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer) when visibility is typically better and the water temperature is more comfortable. Divers should be comfortable with moderate currents and the potential for depth. Freedivers would likely find this site unsuitable due to its depth and the need for scuba gear for exploration of the underwater wall and the many animals who reside there. Experienced divers will appreciate the stunning scenery and plentiful marine life.
