Has anyone dove the coast of Barcelona? I’ll be there with a couple friends in July 2015 and I’m looking for dive shop recommendations.

Also, anyone is welcome to join. If Interested, I can give trip specifics.

I haven’t dove in Spain yet but I am looking to dive there in the future, Medas Islands is near Barcelona (2 hour drive), I know the locals prefer to dive there.

That’s actually one of the places we’re going. The other is a ship wreck at Palamos. Do you know anything about that dive spot?

I dove in marbella spain , it is about 45min from gibalter, I was in Barcelona a few years ago, every body told me the best place to dive near there is on the costa brava.

I haven’t heard about the wreck but it sounds cool, the areas around Palamos and the Medas Islands are definitely the best places to dive in Spain as far as I heard. Looking forward to going there someday aswell, will you make some pictures when you are there?

My sister has been there. She was not impressed by ecology, but if you go really far from the coast, you will see all beauty.

I dove the Medas Isles about 15 to 20 years ago. Was interesting but I like diving the Atlantic better than the Med...

We did a few dives north of Barcelona a couple days before my friends and I hopped a train to run with the Bulls. The reef is dying and not much worth seeing. I had a great time with my friends but didn’t like who we chose to dive with, BCN Diving. We were rushed the entire time, the DM/Instructor didn’t know what he was doing, he was losing people and "herding cats," and was generally clueless.
