    StandoutDramatic wall topography

    Cap Gros, tucked away on the Costa Brava, offers a straightforward Mediterranean dive. You'll find rocky reefs descending to about 20 metres, supporting octopuses, moray eels, and the occasional schooling barracuda. It's a reliable spot for an easy afternoon dive, particularly suitable for those newer to European diving or looking for a relaxed second tank. We often head here when we want consistent conditions and decent visibility without a long boat ride.
