Acuari is a deep wall and reef site located off Mataro, Spain, characterised by a steep drop-off ranging from 30 to 45 metres. The site offers visibility between 20 and 40 metres, allowing divers to observe the wall structure. Due to the significant depth, this site is reserved for advanced divers with technical or deep diving certifications. Divers must manage bottom time and decompression obligations carefully to mitigate risks such as nitrogen narcosis. Access is by boat only, and water temperatures fluctuate between 13C and 19C throughout the year. A drysuit or a thick wetsuit with a hood is recommended for comfort during the typical 30-minute dive.

With water temperatures dropping to 13C in winter, a drysuit or a well-sealed 7mm wetsuit with hood is worth the effort at this depth. Monitor your bottom time from the descent, as the combination of depth and excellent visibility makes it easy to lose track of time on the wall.
