L'Ancora del Negre is a wall and reef site located off Mataro, Spain, offering a deep-water experience for advanced divers. The topography features a rocky wall that descends to depths between 25 and 35 metres. Due to the significant depth, divers must maintain strict buoyancy control and adhere to decompression limits. Access is exclusively by boat, and conditions such as visibility can be variable. Divers should monitor their depth gauges closely throughout the dive to manage the primary hazard of depth. The site is suited for experienced divers capable of managing deep-water protocols in mild current conditions.
