Boat-accessed rocky bar off Llavaneres.
Typically accessed by local boat operators from the Llavaneres / Port Balís area.
El Turó Blau is a boat-accessed offshore rocky bar in front of the Llavaneres port area. The porous rock, cracks, and ledges make it a good site for slow exploration, looking for Mediterranean fauna in the crevices while using good visibility to pick out the two sand tongues that cross the bar. It is a compact but distinctive dive that rewards careful buoyancy and relaxed search patterns.
