Dive-site story
Montañas Rusas is a distinctive rocky dive site located off the northern coast of Ibiza near Portinatx. The area earns its name from its undulating underwater ridges and pinnacles that mimic the peaks and dips of a roller coaster. Divers weave through deep rocky gullies, navigate across steep drop-offs, and explore crevices scattered along the seafloor.
