Description

Salpatxot is one of the most popular dives in the Illes Medes marine reserve — a sheltered site on the western side of Meda Gran with enormous groupers that approach divers fearlessly. The rocky reef at 5-20 meters features dense schools of barracuda, octopus, and moray eels in water protected since 1983.
