El Rincon del Corsario: a deep boat bar near Barcelona.
El Rincon del Corsario is a boat-accessed rocky bar off Barcelona, best treated as an advanced Nitrox dive. The interest is in searching the rock for eels, crustaceans, and occasional larger visitors rather than in a shallow scenic profile. It suits divers who are comfortable with deeper water, controlled descents, and a planned boat-diving setup.

Scuba Diving
Best dived with Nitrox and careful buoyancy; the reward is in the rock search and the occasional larger animal pass.
