San Istiu

San Istiu is a local dive site near the Costa Brava, typically used by regional divers from nearby towns. Access is straightforward from Torroella de Montgrí and surrounding coastal towns, with shallow entry options and a mix of rocky bottoms and seabed features common to the area. The site usually offers mild to moderate currents and clear visibility in good sea conditions, making it suitable for recreational dives and short training sessions. Expect characteristic Western Mediterranean life such as groupers, small reef fish, moray eels, and posidonia meadows in the surrounding habitats. The site is not a major destination on its own but provides reliable, easy diving close to the Medes Islands area and local dive centers.
