Boat-accessed rocky bar dive off the Mataró coast
Boat-accessed rocky bar dive off the Mataró coast
Las Conchas is a straightforward boat dive on a linear rocky bar off the Mataró coast. The route is easy to follow and rewards slow inspection of crevices, shaded holes, and the surrounding Posidonia edge, where small Mediterranean fish gather. It suits relaxed Open Water diving when the sea is calm, and a torch helps bring out the details in the rock.
