Fenals Bar

The rocky extension known as Barra de Fenals starts at a depth of 22 meters and gradually descends to 32 meters on its slope. This dive site offers an excellent opportunity for divers to enhance their navigation skills and utilize Nitrox. It is advisable to bring spotlights and a mandatory diving buoy.

Diving in this area will immerse you in the captivating Mediterranean marine life. Prepare to be amazed by the presence of octopus, moray eel, nudibranch, and imperial bream throughout the rocky expanse.

Located in front of Fenals beach, Barra begins at a depth of approximately twenty-two meters. We anchor to the north, in the shallowest section, before embarking on our dive towards the south, offshore. During the dive, we rely on three rocks in the center as our primary visual reference, necessitating sharp orientation skills or the guidance of a dive leader. The slope gradually descends to thirty meters, where the vast sandy bottom marks the endpoint before making our way back to the anchor point. Barra de Fenals bears a striking resemblance to Bullents in appearance, and it shares a similar consideration for surface exit. Due to the significant boat traffic in the area connecting the different beaches, it is essential to utilize a mandatory signaling buoy.

Please note that the visibility in this region is approximately 15 meters, making it an ideal spot for dive enthusiasts with advanced diving experience. This captivating dive site can be found within the stunning surroundings of Camí de Ronda, Lloret de Mar, Selva, Girona, Catalonia, Spain.
