    The Islas Formigas site in Costa Brava gives you a taste of classic Mediterranean diving. It's an interesting spot for macro lovers and those who enjoy exploring rocky seabeds. We often see nudibranchs here, tucked away amongst the rocks, and small schools of damselfish flitting about. It's a generally calm dive, good for newer divers building confidence in a temperate environment.
