Castell de Cala Murta

★★★★★ (346)

A spectacular dive site at the entrance of Cala Murta. It offers a labyrinthine landscape of giant boulders resembling castle ruins, featuring beautiful underwater arches, swim-throughs, and light effects perfect for photography.

An ideal sanctuary for marine life: it is very common to find large octopuses, elusive moray eels, groupers, brown meagres, and schools of seabream surrounding the rocks.
