For this we have in mind the best places to dive on the entire Costa del Garraf, places that only true lovers of diving know, true jewels of Sitges why it is such a pleasure to dive, for example:

• El Bruto : El Bruto is an idyllic corner for experienced divers and here,the true protagonist is the posidonia. We will find a huge esplanade of this marine plant that stretches from Sitges to Vilanova and la Geltrú. We will dive to a depth of between 14 and 20 meters to enjoy this environment, and that curious marine flora is what makes it possible for there to be so much life. We will come across fauna of all kinds, from invertebrates to vertebrates, and we will come across a pile of rocks where the most curious and disturbing fish of all are sheltered. Needlefish, piers, scorpions and even seahorses await us. Although, without a doubt, the best thing will be when we find an extensive sandy esplanade that will give us the possibility of seeing how countless species of all kinds of fish come together, being able to enjoy a wide spectrum of the marine biodiversity of Sitges.

• Mas del Escarre rocks: This spot for diving located between Vilanova i la Geltrú and Cubelles presents a stone barrier up to 100 meters long. Here we will reach up to 15 meters and we will verify that in Rocas del Mas del Escarre marine flora does not abound, but on the other hand, there is plenty of fauna. We will see how lobsters, moray eels, hermit crabs and gorgonians coexist. If you were planning to do an adventure dive in underwater photography, this is undoubtedly the ideal place.

• El Montanazo: Once again we found a perfect place for adventure diving in Vilanova y la Geltrú, only further south. You will be stunned when you discover its seabed that rises to 18 meters from depths that begin at 24 meters. Here we will see countless marine species throughout the journey, although what predominates are the congresses and moray eels.
