L'Ancora del Negre: advanced Barcelona boat dive
L'Ancora del Negre is a deep boat dive off Barcelona built around a rocky bar rather than coral gardens. It suits advanced and deep-certified divers who want to work a Nitrox profile, search the rock habitat with a torch, and look for small life such as nudibranchs, morays, congrios, and the occasional lobster on a committed deeper outing.
