Dive-site story
Set along the steep limestone headland near Port d'Andratx, La Mola features a rugged underwater topography shaped by collapsed rock slabs and deep overhangs. Divers descend along stepped rock ledges where shadows harbor macro life before transitioning onto sandy patches and seagrass beds. Clear Mediterranean waters here frequently draw pelagic visitors along the outer edges of the drop-offs.
Extensive boulder fields with dark crevices harboring morays and octopus
Sheltered swim-throughs and overhangs covered in encrusting sponges
Schools of barracuda patrolling the open water off the headland
