Long Mataró bar dive with macro life and porous rock.
Long Mataró bar dive with macro life and porous rock.
Negre is a long coastal bar in Mataró, running parallel to the shore for roughly 1.5 km and offering multiple dive sections rather than a single point. The terrain is mostly porous rock with white gorgonians and macro life, so the dive rewards slow searching and careful route choice along the bar. Plan it for calmer late-spring to early-autumn conditions, when boat access, visibility, and marine life are at their best.
