About this dive site
This dive site offers a unique experience exploring three submerged underwater mountains known as Els Ullastres, located just off the coast of Llafranc, within a short distance of the port. These formations are completely underwater and present an interesting dive due to the prominent north faces. The most captivating feature is the abundance of large red gorgonians found on these north-facing walls. Navigation is straightforward, as an anchor buoy is consistently positioned at the highest point of each mountain. There are no significant orientation challenges associated with this site. Visibility is likely good, enabling clear views of the underwater landscape and its inhabitants.
