La Xinxa

La Xinxa is a local dive site near the Costa Brava, typically accessed from the nearby towns of l'Escala, Torroella de Montgrí and Sant Pere Pescador. The site sits along the rocky coastal shelf and offers straightforward coastal diving with calm conditions most days. Expect shallow to moderate depths, clear Mediterranean water, and typical Western Mediterranean life in a sheltered environment. The dive is suitable for daylight dives, with easy entry from the shore or a small local pier and gentle swim-throughs or mullion-like ledges along the rocky seabed. Visibility and currents are usually mild, making it a practical choice for beginner to intermediate divers looking for a relaxed local dive near the town hubs.
