The Medes Islands are a small archipelago composed of seven small islands off the coast of L’Estartit, which are famous for offering scuba divers an underwater wonderland to explore. The islands form part of the Baix Ter National Park and offer dive sites for all levels of scuba expertise, including areas of limestone caves and tunnels and a wreck dive site. If you have never learned to scuba dive you can enroll for a course at one of several diving schools in L’Estartit. If swimming and diving do not appeal to you it is still possible to admire the underwater world from the comfort of a glass-bottom boat – Nautilus in L’Estartit operates several trips per day.
