Description

El Dolç is the gentlest dive site in the Illes Medes marine reserve — a sheltered sandy plateau between the islands ideal for beginners and underwater photographers. The shallow depth (8-25m) and calm conditions allow relaxed observation of the reserve's famously tame groupers, octopus, and dense Mediterranean reef life. The site's seagrass beds (Posidonia oceanica) host seahorses, pipefish, and juvenile fish.
