In these caves you will see small but aggressive shrimps. The exit of tunnel is at 3 metres. Once everyone is through we descend down to 20 metres and go through a nice swim through. We then make our way back to the boat. This is usually a dive of at least 45 mintues.

Visibility – 15 to 25 metres

To get there – 15 minutes from the dive centre

Instructors View – Right outside Cala Monjo bay. It is a vertical rock formation that rises from the sea bed to 10 metres below the surface. Drop off the boat and descend down to the bottom. We then spiral around the formation up to 10 metres. When at 10 metres we follow our compass towards the boat that will be anchored just outside the Cala Monjo tunnel. Good dive if you are PADI Nitrox diver.

Dive Site Name - Isla Dragonera - Eel Wreck Dive

Location – Just off the coast between Andratx and Isla Dragonera

Description – Deep / Wreck Diving

Depth – 36 metres

Visibility – 30 to 40 metres

To get there – 25 minutes from the dive centre

Instructors View – Challenging dive to say the least but well worth it. This is one of my favourite dives in Mallorca. Dive boat anchors over the old wooden wreck which lies in between Dragonera marine reserve and Andtratx. The water is approx 35 metres deep. Descend down to the wreck. Navigate around the broken up bits that remain and in no time at all the large moray eels will come out to see you! This dive is pushing the boundaries of recreational scuba diving as the NDL are pushed to the minute. Several deco stops are a must on the ascent. One at 20 metres another at 10 and of course the mandatory 3 minutes at 5 metres.

Location – Near El Toro

Description – Deep / Drift / Multi-Level / Wall Diving

Depth – 30 metres

Instructors View – The boat arrives at this site and we do a negative descent in to the water. Once beneath the surface we swim close to the wall and descend down to 30 metres. Once at 30 metres we make away along the wall towards the island of El Toro. As we approach the NDL limits for 30 metres we ascend along the wall to 15 metres. Continuing along the wall for approximately 15 minutes we ascend to the 5 metre platform that is beneath the boat.
