Scuba Diving
Boat dive on a rocky sec with broken heads and fault lines that drops into deeper water. Good buoyancy and gas discipline matter, and some outings link it with nearby Jaume Garde when conditions allow.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the main structure sits deeper than comfortable breath-hold planning, so only highly experienced freedivers should consider it on very calm days.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site; the interesting rock structure and fish life sit below comfortable snorkel range, so scuba is the better fit.
