Dive-site story
Located within the El Toro Marine Reserve off the southwest coast of Mallorca, Boya 4 marks a designated mooring buoy over a dramatic marine landscape. The dive begins on a rocky shelf before dropping along stepped terraces, large boulder fields, and Posidonia seagrass meadows. Due to strict protection, the area hosts dense populations of apex Mediterranean predators accustomed to divers.
Steep rocky drop-offs and scattered granite boulders hiding large groupers
Dense schools of Mediterranean barracuda circling in the blue
Expansive seagrass meadows harboring diverse macro life and schooling sea bream
