Why dive here
With 77+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), octopuses and sea turtles - Tasco Petit offers some of Medes Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 14-24°C, warmest July, August, September.
Tasco Petit might just be our pick for a more intimate dive in the Medes. While the big names like La Vaca Marina get all the press, Tasco Petit offers a different vibe entirely. It’s less about dramatic archways and more about the details, the slower pace. We love drifting along the wall here, keeping an eye out for the smaller stuff. You often find slender rockfish tucked into crevices and those gorgeous light-bulb sea squirts clinging to the rock. The seahorses here are a real draw, though you need a keen eye and some patience to spot them in the seagrass beds that run alongside the deeper sections. If you’re a macro enthusiast or just prefer a relaxed pace over a swift drift, this is your spot. Keep an eye on the sand for sting rays and common squid, especially in the late afternoon when things quieten down. It’s a great second dive of the day, letting you slow down and really observe.
