Why dive here
With 44+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola) and sea turtles - Els Arquets offers some of Costa Brava's richest diving. Water ranges 13-25°C, warmest July, August, September.
Els Arquets is a reliable Mediterranean dive, good for a relaxed afternoon. You’ll find a series of arches and swim-throughs carved into the rock, offering plenty of nooks to poke around in. Look out for octopus tucked into crevices and small schools of damselfish darting about. It’s a comfortable site, well-suited for newer divers or those looking for an easy multi-dive day.
