About this site
Cala Sardina is a beginner dive in the bay at Cadaqués, over a rocky bottom in a protected spot. Unlike neighbouring Cala Guillosa, which is known for its rocky wall, Cala Sardina is shaped more by a channel.
A channel can concentrate water movement and give the dive a stronger sense of motion, even when the surrounding sea looks manageable. Visibility here is great, and the bay as a whole has the structure and marine life to justify more than one route.
