Nestled along the captivating coastline of the Costa Brava, Tossa de Mar is more than just a postcard-perfect Mediterranean village—it’s a diving and snorkeling haven for sea lovers. Whether you’re an experienced diver or someone just dipping their toes into underwater adventures, this charming seaside town offers crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and stunning underwater landscapes that are waiting to be explored.

Discover the Magic Beneath the Waves

The calm, turquoise waters surrounding Tossa de Mar make it an ideal spot for both scuba diving and snorkeling. The bay is sheltered, which provides excellent visibility and a safe environment for beginners and families. But don’t be fooled—there’s plenty to thrill even seasoned divers.

Snorkeling in Tossa de Mar is easy and rewarding. Just steps from the beach, you’ll find rocky coves teeming with sea breams, octopuses, and colorful starfish. The shallow waters near Platja Gran, the main beach, are a great place to start. Snorkelers often spot schools of fish darting through the seaweed and get an up-close look at the area’s fascinating underwater flora and fauna.

Scuba Diving Hotspots

For certified divers, Tossa de Mar offers several diving schools and guided excursions. Popular dive sites like La Mar Menuda and Els Bullents reveal a dramatic seascape of caves, tunnels, and vertical walls. These spots are home to groupers, moray eels, barracudas, and even the occasional ray.

One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of scuba diving here is exploring underwater rock formations shaped over centuries. Each dive feels like a journey into a hidden world, bursting with life and color.

Perfect for All Skill Levels

What makes Tossa de Mar truly special is how accessible and inclusive it is for everyone. First-timers can sign up for try-dives, while families can enjoy guided snorkeling tours tailored to different ages and comfort levels. Professional instructors ensure safety and fun, so you can relax and truly immerse yourself in the experience.

When to Go

The best time to dive or snorkel in Tossa de Mar is from May to October, when the water temperatures range between 20-26°C (68-79°F). During these months, marine life is more active, and the weather is perfect for long, sunny days by the sea.
