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 about, true jewels of Sitges for which it is a pleasure to dive, for example:

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

• Rocas del Mas del Escarre: This spot for diving which is located between Vilanova y la Geltrú and Cubelles presents a stone barrier up to 100 meters long. Here we will reach up to 15 meters and we will see that in Rocas del Mas del Escarre there is not an abundance of marine flora, but on the contrary, there is a lot of fauna. We will see how lobsters, moray eels, hermit crabs and gorgonians coexist. If you were thinking of doing an adventure immersion in underwater photography, this is, without a doubt, 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 amazed when you discover its seabed that rises up to 18 meters from depths that start at 24 meters. Here we will see countless marine species throughout the journey, although what predominates are congresses and moray eels.
