    La Isla Bonita, off the Costa Brava, offers a solid Mediterranean dive. You’ll find rocky reefs descending to around 20 metres, with plenty of cracks and crevices for moray eels and octopuses. It’s a reliable spot for seeing scorpionfish tucked into the rock and schools of damselfish flitting about. We think it’s a good choice for newer divers looking for a relaxed exploration.
