Dive-site story
Located off the southeastern coast of Ibiza near the Ses Salines Natural Park, Isla Esponja is an exposed rocky islet surrounded by boulder fields and vibrant Posidonia oceanica meadows. Divers circle the submerged rock formations where crevices harbor Mediterranean species and clear offshore currents maintain excellent water clarity. The profile drops from the islet's shallow base along stepped platforms into sand and seagrass beds.
Extensive underwater rock fractures and small overhangs sheltering resting morays and octopus
Dense surrounding Posidonia oceanica seagrass beds harboring juvenile fish and sea bream
Frequent flybys of schooling barracuda and pelagic jacks in the blue
