About this dive site

This dive site, Digue Barcares, is a protected area specifically designed for beginner divers and those undertaking their first training dives. The shallow depth and calm waters make it an excellent location for learning basic scuba skills and getting comfortable underwater. The dive site is easily accessible from the shore, offering a convenient and straightforward entry and exit point. Navigating underwater is simple, as the area is relatively flat and free from significant currents or complex underwater topography.

The marine life at Digue Barcares is diverse, especially in terms of smaller species. Divers can expect to see a variety of fish including octopus, blennies, sea bream, saps, willows, and pipefish. The presence of these creatures provides ample opportunities for close-up observation and underwater photography. The site’s shallow nature also makes it ideal for exploring the seabed and observing smaller invertebrates.

The best time to visit Digue Barcares is during the summer months when water temperatures are warmest and visibility is at its best. While the site is suitable for both scuba diving and freediving, it is important to check the weather conditions and current strength before entering the water. As with any dive, appropriate safety measures should always be followed, including diving with a buddy.
