    El Pinell II is a solid choice for a relaxing dive off the Costa Brava. We often find good visibility here, revealing a gently sloping reef wall. You’ll see plenty of scorpionfish, morays tucked into crevices, and schools of damselfish flitting about. It’s a comfortable dive for those looking for something straightforward.
