Best for advanced divers, Up to 42m, boat entry, moderate current.
L’Ampurdanes is a wreck dive located 1600 metres off the coast of Mataro, Spain. The site reaches a maximum depth of 42 metres, requiring advanced certification and disciplined gas management. Divers access the wreck by boat, encountering moderate currents and visibility ranging from 10 to 30 metres. The structure presents an overhead environment with risks of entanglement, necessitating extreme caution during penetration. Due to the significant depth and potential for nitrogen narcosis, careful monitoring of decompression limits is essential. Water temperatures fluctuate between 13C and 20C throughout the year, making a drysuit or thick wetsuit advisable for comfort at these depths.
