Carall Bernat, Medes Islands
The Illes Medes (in Catalan) or Ilsas Medas (in Spanish) is a wonderful small group of seven islets in the northwest Mediterranean Sea. They are situated east of the coastal town of L'Estartit.
The Playground is a shallow wall dive and takes its name from the bottlenose dolphins that can be observed on the site and seem to enjoy themselves. It is about 20 minutes away from the marina and it is characterized with overhangs and caves, filled with cray fish, lionfish and firefish on the northern side of Pemba Bay.
Accommodating all levels of divers, the dive depths here range between 12-15 m/40-50 ft. It is also a great macro-site and very popular with photographers, who are after the Mauritian scorpion fish and leaf fish. Other marine life expected here include the blue spotted rays, dusky sweepers and the shrimp.
