Dive-site story
Situated along Mallorca's southwestern coastline, Palmanova Bay features a gentle seabed composed of sand patches, rocky fingers, and extensive Posidonia seagrass meadows. Its sheltered geographic position provides calm conditions throughout most of the season, making it a regular choice for check dives, entry-level training, and relaxed night dives. Divers can follow the rocky contours extending from the headlands to spot Mediterranean reef species hiding in crevices.
