Mataró boat dive on the Barra del Negre's El Triangle section.
El Triangle is a boat-access rocky bar section of the Barra del Negre near Mataró, within the Maresme Special Conservation Area. It is a structured Mediterranean dive with porous rock, cracks, and ledges that reward slow buoyancy control, careful navigation, and a local-operator briefing. Plan for a boat-based approach, protected-area rules, and calmer-water windows rather than a casual shore entry.
