The Virgen
Boat-access rocky-bar dive off the Maresme coast with ledges and fish.
Local operator required
The site is easiest through a local Maresme dive center or marina departure.
Plan a boat dive from Port Balís; this mid-depth rocky bar works best with calm seas, good visibility, and Nitrox.
About The Virgen
The Virgen is a boat-access rocky-bar dive off the Costa del Maresme, with ledges, a small cave with the Virgin image, and a blue-water edge that attracts bogas, mackerel, groupers, cuttlefish, octopus, barracuda, and nudibranchs. It is a good mid-depth boat dive from Port Balís, and Nitrox helps make the most of the profile. The dive is at its best when the sea is calm and the water stays clear.
