Hi. Just joined the group after meeting a member today at Lake Calhoun.

Partner and I are heading to Spain and France in July and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for dive locations between Barcelona and Marseilles. Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza are also possibilities, though kind of expensive--we generally travel on the cheap as backpackers.

We're newbie divers--just completed our checkout dives in Grand Cayman in December. Looking to get some quality dives in while we hike around in Europe.
Thanks!
