This dive site, Los Islotes del Negr, is a deeper boat dive located off the coast of Catalonia, Spain. It is particularly recommended for advanced certified divers due to its depth profile. Navigation primarily involves exploring the interesting rock formations and surrounding areas of the islets, offering varied underwater topography.
Divers can expect to encounter a rich variety of marine life. Common sightings include conger eels, moray eels, lobsters, and octopus. The site is also home to various species of colorful nudibranchs, making it interesting for macro enthusiasts. During the right season, specifically June, there is a good chance to encounter sunfish (Mola mola).
The best time to visit Los Islotes del Negr for a chance to see sunfish is in June. Given the depths explored, the use of Nitrox is recommended for extended bottom times and increased safety. Both freedivers and snorkelers can enjoy the shallower areas around the islets, although the main attractions often lie deeper.
