Scuba Diving in Estartit Costa Brava Diving Illes MedesA modern marina has developed alongside the old fishing harbour and provides a wonderful selection of The lesser known Estartit coast of the Costa Brava is picking up on the popularity front. Estartit boasts around 15km of coastline, mixing long sandy beach areas with rocky coves and offshore islets. The rocky coves around the Montgri coast are easily reached from Estartit on-foot, via some spectacular coastal paths. Main beach Plata Gran de L'Estartit serves as the main tourist hub for swimming, with numerous watersports available alongside shallow waters and fine sand.

Discovered by Jacques Cousteau the Islands have been a protected area for almost 25 years, and as a result are very well established. They are home to large grouper, eagle rays, barracuda, and moray eels, just to name a few. Colourful gorgonian walls, an abundance of red coral and a variety of caves and tunnels all make for very interesting diving. The dive sites vary from 6m to 30m+ and are suitable for all levels of divers; all this is just a 10 minute boat ride from the harbour of L’Estartit. The rocky Medes Islands are a hub for scuba diving. This tiny archipelago covers around 23 hectares a mile off-shore from the main beach at Estartit. The 7 islets which together form the Medes were made a marine reserve in 1983 - good job too as since then there's been considerable recovery of the rich seabed and many species near extinction have been saved. Diving amongst the underwater tunnels and cave cavities of the Medes is a diving experience indeed.
