El Negre is a boat-access rocky bar running parallel to the coast near Mataró. The site can be explored in different sections, which keeps the dive flexible and easy to pace. It is known for rock-life and a steady mix of marine animals, and it usually shines in the calmer winter window when visibility is best. That shape makes it a good fit for relaxed guided dives where the team can choose the stretch that suits the day.
