Cala Figuera

You can easily park your car in Carrer de Sa Marina street, where you'll find a passage leading to the shore. After a small 50 walk on this alley, you'll find a stairway leading to the water.

They are constructed by the neighbours are leading to cement docks, from which you can easily jump into the water. 
This docks have metallic ladder that you can use to get in or out of the water, but the owner use to take them out of the water when the summer season finishes. Out of the summer season, you'll have to climb the rocks to get on the cement docks, and this can be a bit difficult by moderate swell.

You can start the dive when jumping into the water or either swim for about 50 m to the open sea, and when arriving to the cove's end, turn right, SW, and start your dive by following the wall to the SW. Max depth found 24 m.

Interesting wall dive with very big boulders fallen from the cliffs at the bottom, which are amazing passages and lots of shelter for marine life.

When getting far from the wall, the bottom becomes completely flat and is made of sand, so the most beautiful way of diving this site is by following the wall next to the bottom.

Although the cove is very narrow, you may find some boats inside during the summer, so be ware of them

Carrer de sa Marina St., Cala Egos

Cala Egos

In Cala D'Or, go to "Cala Gran", and look for "Carrer Cabrera" (Cabrera Street). Go by this street to its end, and park your car there, in front of the shore.

Walk to the rocks and you'll easily find a concrete alley at your right, leading to the sea after a very short walk. There is a stainless-steel ladder in the summertime that makes going in and out of the water really easy (take care with big waves when rough sea), but it's usually removed during the winter. Anyway, it's easy to get in and out of the water without using the ladder when the sea is fine.

From here, you can do THREE DIFFERENT DIVES:

- Dive 1:

Just after jumping into the water, depth is about 17 m., and the average depth of this dive is about 20 m. (max depth: 26 m.).

Following the wall, head to your right (S) and folloow it to turn the little cape that is the Eastern cape of Cala Gran (see map). Before turning it, you'll find a cave with a very big entrance: very large cave with no ramifications, about 20 m long from the entrance to its end. Ceiling's height is about 6 m, but there's a lot of silt in the bottom, take care.

Exiting the cave, you'll find some big rocks in front of you with a passage between them leading to the bottom (deepest point of this dive: 26 m)

After the cave, always by following the wall, you can continue diving S to turn the Cala Gran's cape, and you'll find lots of rocks with passages among them (here depth is around 15 - 20 m), used as lots of shelters by the marine fauna.

LOTS of boats during the summer!!! Sometimes, currents generated by thermoclines.

- Dive 2: (max depth: 32 m)

Just after jumping into the water you must head underwater (MANY BOATS in the surface: take care!!!) to 100º ( aprox. ESE)for about 275 m. You may dive at a depth of about 10 m. to avoid the boats on the surface and to avoid consuming lots of air as the depth is about 25 m or more and for there's absolutely nothing interesting to see in the bottom until you arrive to a cut, depth 32 m. with interesting landscape. 1 x 18L or 2 x 10L tanks recommended if doing this dive by diving from the shore.

- Dive 3: (avg. depth about 20 m.)

From the starting point, dive to your left, heading NE and following the wall: lots of rocks in the bottom, wall dive.

In Cala D'Or, go to "Cala Gran", and look for "Carrer Cabrera" (Cabrera Street). Go by this street to its end, and park your car there, in front of the shore.


Cala Gran

Cave diving. You should go swimming for about 300 before arriving to the cave entrance, located almost at the end of the cliff on your right when swimming to the open sea: the southern wall.

Cave about 80m. long and about 35m wide at the widest point. Average depth into the cave = 6m. You'll find there some stalactites, stalagmites, columns and some other different speleothemes. Not much silt inside, but you must be careful in some zones in which it can be easy removed from the bottom (frog kick recommended). Two chemenies in the ceiling leading to little air chambers. The average distance between the bottom and the ceiling is about 4 or 5 meter, but there are lower zones. No hard restrictions.

Despite the fact that you can't easily loose the entrance as it's a straight cave, and the entry is large, dive it following the cave diving security standards and precautions. Dive safe.

Parking nera the dive site. Stairway down to the beach. Entry by the beach (easy walk to the water).

Cala Sa Nau

Portocolom Aldea Ibizenca

Isla del Sec

Boat sunk about 30m in length in a controlled way in front of the dam to stop the onslaught of the sea. Immersion interesting for the ship itself. Some animals, moray eels, conger eels and typical of the area. Visibility poor, barely visible fins.

Getting here is easy, the difficult part is to find the sunken boat.
