Dive-site story
Located just outside the port of Ibiza, Dado Pequeño is a jagged rocky islet that breaks the surface. Famous in maritime history as the reef that claimed the cargo ferry Don Pedro, the underwater formation features stepped drop-offs, large boulders scattered around its base, and small caves packed with marine fauna. Currents sweeping past the rock concentrate pelagic fish in open water while macro subjects shelter within the cracks.
Steep rocky walls and large fallen boulders
Schools of barracuda circling the pinnacle in open water
Abundant crevices sheltering dusky groupers and moray eels
Location
