Dive-site story
Protected as a national maritime park off the southern coast of Mallorca, Isla de Cabrera offers exceptional Mediterranean diving characterized by dramatic limestone drop-offs, swim-throughs, and extensive Posidonia seagrass meadows. Because fishing has been strictly regulated for decades, marine life thrives here in numbers rarely found along the mainland coast. Divers reach the island via dedicated day-boat charters departing primarily from Colònia de Sant Jordi.
Exceptionally large resident dusky groupers that approach divers with calm curiosity
Expansive Posidonia oceanica meadows sheltering juvenile fish and diverse macro fauna
Dramatic underwater relief with limestone drop-offs, deep boulders, and clear Mediterranean visibility
