About this dive site

This dive site presents three remarkable underwater rock formations, known as Els Ullastres. Located just offshore and within two miles of both Llafranch and Calella de Palafrugell ports, these submerged mountains offer a unique diving experience. The northern faces of each formation are particularly noteworthy due to the presence of large red gorgonians. Navigation is straightforward, with a mooring buoy consistently positioned at the highest point of each mountain. There's no indication of significant depth or challenging currents, making it accessible for divers of various skill levels.
