The Medes Islands situated just 1 km off the Estartit coast provide some very popular diving. The reserve is known as one of the most important in the West of the Mediterranean and is a meeting place for lovers of the under water world.

Whilst the coastal areas do not have such a concentration of sea life as warmer waters further afield they do offer some fascinating dives. You can find wrecks, tunnels, caves, walls full of plant life, coral and rich fauna. The reserves off the coastline of Estartit, frequented by divers, are characterised by a great quantity of bustling marine life, mainly large groupers which can be found at shallow depths. These enormous fish approach divers fearlessly and with an air of curiosity, wreathed in clouds of Sargasso, with eagle rays skimming along the sea-floor amongst schools of barracudas. Divers will be in awe of the underwater caves and sea walls teeming with anemones.
