El Jardín de las Ánforas
Ancient amphora field reached by boat from Ciutadella

About El Jardín de las Ánforas
A boat drop north of Ciutadella, El Jardín de las Ánforas is a scattered amphora field on an open Mediterranean seabed. The dive is staged from an anchored boat with a safety cylinder, then follows a simple route around the remains. It is a better fit for certified divers who want an archaeological profile than for reef hunters, and it is best planned as a calm guided day with clean buoyancy and careful finning.

Local Intel For El Jardín de las Ánforas
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Guided boat dive with an anchored descent and safety cylinder; the working depth is chosen to match certification and experience.
Freediving
Only for advanced freedivers with boat-drop comfort and a very calm day; the site is much better as a scuba dive because the main interest sits on the seabed.
Snorkeling
Not a strong snorkel-first site; the amphora field is a seabed attraction, so surface-only visits will feel limited.
