Dive-site story
Rising from the sandy seabed between Ibiza and Formentera, this sunken aquaculture platform resembles a submerged industrial cathedral. Heavy storms breached the offshore fish farm in the late nineties, sending its metallic hexagonal structure down to the seafloor where marine life quickly colonised the steel framework. Large schools of barracuda circle the skeletal beams in midwater, while deep shadows conceal morays and groupers among the fallen girders.
