Dive Spot Guide•
Pins Mar
Shallow rocky shore dive ideal for practice and calm sessions.
Pins Mar is a shallow Mataró shore dive for practice and easy sessions, with a rocky bottom, nearby seagrass, and classic Mediterranean fish life.
About Pins Mar
Pins Mar is a shallow rocky shore dive at the north end of Mataró beach, running toward Llavaneras. It is widely used as a practice site because the bottom is calm, the profile stays shallow, and the line is easy to read from shore. Torpedo rays and typical Mediterranean fish such as wrasse are part of the appeal, and the nearby seagrass habitat makes the area feel alive even on easy sessions. It is a good fit for controlled practice rather than depth.
