This dive site, El Negre 15-22, is a prominent underwater bar running parallel to the Mataró coast in Spain. It forms a characteristic feature of the local seabed and can be explored in various sections. With depths ranging from 15 to 22 meters, and an average around 10 meters, it offers relatively easy navigation along its elongated structure, typical for the region. There is no specific historical information provided.
Divers can expect to encounter a healthy variety of marine life. Common sightings include moray eels and conger eels, often found sheltering within the bar's crevices. Lobsters are also frequently observed, adding to the invertebrate diversity. Depending on the season, there might be sightings of 'sea eagles' (likely referring to a type of ray or large fish rather than birds of prey).
The site is generally good for diving throughout the warmer months when Mediterranean waters are most inviting. It's suitable for both beginner and intermediate divers due to its moderate depth. Freedivers will also find the 10-20 meter depth range accommodating. The varied marine life makes it an interesting spot for underwater photography, particularly for macro and mid-sized subjects.
