Carall Bernat

Carall Bernat sticks out of the water like a giant tooth, a solitary rock guarding the eastern edge of the Medes Islands. It’s an exposed site, so we always check the swell before heading out, but on a calm day, it’s absolutely worth the trip. Our favourite part has to be the sheer wall dropping into the blue, covered in thick patches of Neptune's lace swaying in the surge. Look closely and you’ll find smaller things: Ornate wrasse darting between crevices, and if you’re patient, a Rufus snake eel peeking out from the rubble. We love drifting along the northern side, where the light plays off the rock face. You might catch a flash of silver as a school of saddled seabream ghosts past, or a lone brown comber eyeing you from the shade. It's not a site for spotting huge pelagics, but rather for appreciating the vibrant ecosystem of the Medes. This spot really suits divers who enjoy dramatic underwater topography and have a keen eye for smaller, harder-to-find Mediterranean species.
