La Nacra is a boat-access mountain dive with rock and posidonia.
La Nacra is a boat-access underwater mountain off Blanes with rock, posidonia, and sandy-bottom sections. The site suits all levels and is reached by a short sail from the port, so it works well as a simple guided outing. Expect schools of fish, nudibranchs, groupers, moray and conger eels, octopuses, and seasonal barracudas.
