La Piscina, located off the coast of Cadaques, offers a diverse underwater landscape featuring reefs, caves, caverns, and canyons. Divers can explore depths ranging from 10 to 30 metres, with visibility typically between 10 and 30 metres. Access is by boat, and the site is suited to intermediate divers due to the need for careful buoyancy around sharp rock and coral structures. Conditions generally feature mild currents, though surge and swell can occur, particularly within the cavern and canyon sections. Water temperatures fluctuate between 13 and 20 degrees Celsius throughout the year, requiring appropriate thermal protection for the 45-minute average dive duration.
