Twin-rock reef opposite Sant Feliu's port at 3-25m, joined by a sand corridor with a seasonal nudibranch rock and a gorgonian indentation.
Last updated May 2026
You drop onto the 3 metre peak of the main rock and pick it up on your right shoulder. Indentations split its flank as you orbit, and the precoralligenous holes through the lower zone are reported to hold congers, octopus and forkbeards in the kind of stacking density that older diver accounts described as life in every crevice. The rock falls away to roughly 25 metres of sand on its NE-SW axis. From there a wide sand corridor opens to the south, separating the main formation from a smaller secondary rock overgrown with green algae over a coralligenous base. You follow the corridor across, trace the secondary rock's perimeter, and turn back around 100 bar. The return picks up the main rock's second indentation, where the gorgonian growth thickens, and ends at the rock that older route descriptions identify as the seasonal nudibranch stop at the corridor mouth. Cleaner-shrimp stations get a mention in centre briefings for the shallow finish, where barracuda are reported patrolling the top.
The two-rock-and-corridor layout is what divers come back for. The corridor is short enough to cross comfortably on a single tank, and it carries the dive's two best macro stops: the gorgonian indentation on the main rock, and the rock at the channel's end where, in older accounts, seasonal nudibranchs were photographed in good variety. The site has a second identity in local rotation. When the more exposed reefs around Sant Feliu are running current or chop, divers of an earlier generation described the boat redirecting here and finding flat water on the same morning. That role as a sheltered alternative is part of how the area's centres still position the site, though the documented current readings come from a single September day in 2008.
The seasonal nudibranch rock at the end of the corridor and the gorgonian indentation on the main rock are the two stops that reward time over coverage. Older accounts from local divers describe a yellow nudibranch in size that stayed with them years later, plus a sunflower-form anemone with long tentacles that one group reported never having seen elsewhere on this coast — both single-day observations, treated as macro hints rather than guarantees. Cleaner-shrimp stations in the shallow finish appear in centre briefings, useful for close-focus work on the safety stop. Visibility tends to sit at the lower end of the area's summer range on heavy boat-traffic days because of the site's near-port position, so winter and post-bloom autumn often produce cleaner files.
The site is opposite an active port, so summer surface traffic is significant; carry an SMB and deploy it before ascending. Older route notes specifically advise against shore entry in peak season, which is why the boat option through the area's centres is the standard approach. Artisanal fishing baskets sit on the bottom around both formations, some abandoned because retrieving them is impractical. Stay in good trim above the substrate and carry a cutting tool. The full circuit (main rock, sand corridor, secondary rock, gorgonian indentation) takes a 12-litre tank to roughly 100 bar at the turnaround point; on tight gas, drop the secondary-rock loop and head for the gorgonian indentation directly.
What makes this dive site stand out.

End of the corridor holds a rock with seasonal nudibranch concentrations
The second indentation on the main rock holds dense gorgonian growth
