Dive-site story
Located off the eastern coast of Ibiza, this submerged seamount rises from the seabed and is topped by a navigational beacon warning maritime traffic of the shallow hazard. Divers descend along stepped rocky terraces and dramatic drop-offs that shelter typical western Mediterranean marine fauna. The plateau creates an oasis of marine activity surrounded by sand flats and dense Posidonia oceanica meadows.
Steep rocky drop-offs and scattered boulders sheltering cryptic predators
Dense schools of chevron barracuda circling the pinnacle in open water
Expansive Posidonia meadows surrounding the deeper base of the shoal
