El Marmoler (Wreck)

El Marmoler is one of the most iconic wrecks on the Montgrí coast, off L’Escala. It is the former Italian cargo ship Avvenire, approximately 47 meters long, which was transporting significant blocks of marble when it sank in May 1971. Caught in a storm, the ship struck the coast before sinking offshore. It now rests upright on a muddy bottom, at a depth of about 32 to 44 meters. Its hull is still relatively intact, and the blocks of marble are still visible in the holds. The wreck serves as a refuge for many fish and crustaceans, particularly lobsters, and sunfish can occasionally be observed in the area. Due to its depth, the descent in open water, and its distance from the coast, this dive is reserved for experienced divers and is only conducted by boat.
