Barda de Fitor is an advanced boat-access site located in the Medes Islands. The topography features a reef starting at 13 metres that transitions into a steep wall descending to 45 metres, with various caves integrated into the rock face. Divers should expect moderate currents and variable visibility, requiring strong buoyancy control and careful gas management. Due to the significant depth and potential for strong currents, this site is strictly for advanced divers. Conditions can shift rapidly, so it is essential to consult a local dive centre and assess the environment on the morning of the dive. Always carry a surface marker buoy.
