The Embalse de La Sarra, a freshwater reservoir, offers a different kind of dive in Costa Brava. Here, you'll find submerged trees and the remains of old structures, creating an eerie, tranquil landscape. It's a spot for those who appreciate the quiet solitude of freshwater diving and don't mind the absence of colourful reef fish. We'd suggest it for divers looking to practice buoyancy in calm conditions or those simply seeking a change of scenery from the usual Mediterranean coast.
