Scuba in Mallorca and Cabrera is about variety: El Toro's reserve fish life, Malgrats' rocky scenery, Palma Bay wrecks, Dragonera caverns and Cabrera's tightly managed national park dives. Most visitors dive from land-based centers, with short boat runs on Mallorca and special permit-backed days to Cabrera. Conditions are generally most comfortable May to October, but winter training and sheltered local dives remain possible when winds allow.
Mallorca's signature fishbiomass dive area, with rocky reefs, groupers, barracuda and dentex in a reserve where species recovery is part of the appeal.
Southwest Mallorca reserve diving with walls, boulders, Posidonia edges and good chances of moray eels, octopus and schooling fish.
