Dive-site story
Sa Cova des Pintor sits along the dramatic limestone cliffs of Mallorca's rugged northwest coast. The dive centers around a submerged cavern featuring large rocky portals, open chambers illuminated by shafts of sunlight, and boulder-strewn swim-throughs where marine life shelters away from coastal surge.
Atmospheric natural light penetrating the cavern ceiling and entrance archways
Sponges and bryozoan encrustations carpeting the cavern overhangs and interior recesses
Rocky crevices harboring nocturnal invertebrates and shelter-seeking fish

Seasonality
