Dive-site story
Set against northern cliffs near Na Coloms on Ibiza, Cueva de la Luz leads divers through an underwater archway from the open Mediterranean Sea into an open-top chamber. Sunlight pierces directly through the ceiling aperture into the water column, casting blue shafts downward. Outside the cavern, the rocky wall falls away into boulders and overhangs.

Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Midday dives in summer provide the most direct sunlight penetration through the overhead opening.
