L'Ancora del Negre
This boat dive is ideal for advanced or deep divers, especially those using Nitrox. The dive site features a rocky bar with depths ranging from 25 to 35 meters. It's important to bring a flashlight for better visibility, as the maximum depth reaches 29 meters. The area is particularly interesting for exploring marine life, including nudibranchs, morays, lobsters, and conger eels. We always begin the dive from the anchor position, with the dive guide placing a marker buoy at the anchor and deploying a reel line that crosses the entire rocky bar. This makes it easy to find the ascent point when returning. Depending on the current, we may choose to dive either in a northeast or southwest direction, typically at depths of around 28-29 meters. On the return, we will follow a reciprocal direction, diving at the shallowest point allowed by the bar. This dive site is located in Spain and is an excellent option for those seeking an exciting underwater adventure.
