Dive-site story
Positioned beneath the iconic perforated rock formation along Mallorca's rugged Serra de Tramuntana coastline, Sa Foradada features dramatic underwater topography formed by steep limestone drop-offs, fallen boulders, and cavernous overhangs. Divers navigate varied terrain ranging from lush seagrass meadows to rock fissures where Mediterranean fauna congregates. Most visits depart via boat from Port de Sóller, treating divers to sheer cliff faces above and clear blue water below.
Dramatic underwater boulder fields and vertical limestone walls mirroring the cliff scenery above
