Dive-site story
Situated at the outer boundary of the El Toro Marine Reserve off southwestern Mallorca, Boya 6 provides access to steep limestone drop-offs, boulder slopes, and deep sandy channels. The strict protection in this reserve allows Mediterranean predatory fish to congregate in noticeable numbers. Divers descend along the fixed mooring line to explore stepped rocky shelves that shelter resident groupers and moray eels.
