Dive-site story
Isla El Sech, also known locally as El Sec, is a small rocky islet located in the Bay of Palma off southwestern Mallorca. The dive site features an artificial reef system established around three scuttled wrecks resting along the sandy seabed alongside natural rock plateaus and boulders. Divers typically navigate between the encrusted hull structures and the surrounding reef walls where Mediterranean fauna congregates.
