About this site
Islote de la Galera lies off the coast near Cap de Creus, in the northern Catalan-Balearic waters of Spain, and is typically reached by a short boat trip from the coastal towns along this stretch of Mediterranean shoreline. Divers here have reported common octopus, comber, Mediterranean rainbow wrasse, ornate wrasse, ringneck blenny, Atlantic purple sea urchin, and Mediterranean red coral among the life on the rock. The mix points to a rocky Mediterranean reef environment typical of this part of the Costa Brava, with the islet itself forming the main feature of the dive.
