The dive sites within the Natural Park of Montgrí, Medes Islands, and Baix Ter are in a privileged location.

The proximity to the coast, the mouth of the Ter River, the presence of northern currents, and the great geological diversity of the seabed make these areas rich in marine life accessible to all divers.

THE MEDES ISLANDS

ERDM EL CENTRE PARC NATURAL

The Medes Islands form a small archipelago consisting of seven islets and some rocks, located just a mile from the port of L’Estartit.

This is a Natural Reserve filled with life and unique landscapes, where we can find a large variety of big fish accustomed to the presence of divers.

It is common to see large schools of barracudas, amberjacks, and salps. We may also have the surprise to encounter eagle rays, sunfish, and tunas, not forgetting the company of curious large groupers.

The Medes Islands offer a wide variety of dive sites suitable for any certified diver.
