El Dorado is a reef site located in Mataro, Spain, reaching depths of up to 22 metres.

Divers should expect mild currents, making buoyancy management relatively straightforward. Given the range of water temperatures from 13C to 24C, divers should select appropriate exposure protection based on the season.
