This dive site is Cala Montjoi, a beautiful and well-sheltered rocky creek located in the heart of Cap de Creus Natural Park on the north of Costa Brava, Spain. Its protected waters make it an ideal spot for entry-level divers and snorkelers. Underwater navigation is straightforward due to its shallow depth and clear visibility, typically following the natural rocky contours of the creek.
The crystal-clear waters of Cala Montjoi are home to a beautiful variety of Mediterranean fish. Divers and snorkelers can expect to spot numerous sea bream, various species of wrasse, and impressive shoals of salema. The rocky seabed provides a suitable habitat for smaller crustaceans and colorful marine flora typical of the Mediterranean.
The best time to visit Cala Montjoi is during the warmer months when water temperatures are pleasant and marine activity is generally higher. Its shallow and calm conditions make it perfect for beginners to practice their skills and for freedivers to enjoy leisurely dives among the fish. Due to its popularity as a snorkeling spot, it is advisable to visit earlier in the day to avoid potential crowds.
