The El Gat dive site is located close to a huge rock at the easternmost point of Cap Norfeu. The rock is named El Gat because it resembles two cat ears. The dive site is well-known for an abundance of marine life, and features a steep wall that drops to approximately 55m/180ft down. At the shallower depths, the wall of El Gat is covered in beautiful white gorgonians, while at its deeper end, the wall seems colored in red because of the extended fields of red gorgonians.
