Underwater viewing
The Roussillon 2 is a boat fitted with underwater viewing wells that let you see what lies beneath the boat: the rocky seabed and posidonia seagrass meadows.
Underwater viewing takes place near Cap Béar; access to the underwater viewing wells lasts around ten minutes, during the passage through the region’s most beautiful bay. Shoals of fish are usually found near the surface above the underwater viewing wells, and are therefore visible from the sides of the boat.
Depending on the weather, water clarity can be affected — if there has been swell for an extended period, the underwater viewing wells will be closed. As the Cap Béar, caves and underwater viewing cruise is, above all, a sea cruise exploring the riches of our Catalan coast, the visibility level of the seabed cannot be grounds for any refund.
