Ullastre II

About this dive site

This dive site, Ullastre II, is part of a group of three underwater mountains known as Los Ullastres, located a short boat ride from Calella, Spain. Navigation is straightforward, following the steep walls down to the maximum depth of 27 meters. The site is popular for its diverse marine life and stunning underwater topography. There is no specific historical narrative tied to the dive site itself, however its prominence within the Los Ullastres region is notable.

The abundant marine life includes moray eels, barracudas, San Pedros (likely John Dory), octopuses, cuttlefish, sea hares, conger eels, various rockfish species, and beautiful sea fans. Gorgonians further enhance the vibrant underwater landscape. The variety of species ensures there's something to see for everyone, from macro photographers to those seeking larger fish.

The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months (May-October) when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility tends to be at its best. A torch is recommended, especially for exploring crevices where smaller creatures might hide. While suitable for freediving within shallower sections, divers should be aware of their limits due to the maximum depth of 27 meters. Strong currents are not typically a feature of this location, so it can be enjoyed by a variety of experience levels.
