Es Castellet - The Pinnacle wall dive
Es Castellet - The Pinnacle wall dive
A local boat operator is the practical way to time the sheltered bay and reach the drop-in point safely.
Es Castellet - The Pinnacle is a sheltered wall-and-pinnacle dive in Cala Engossauba near Cala Murta, with a short guided route over rock and Posidonia that usually delivers barracudas, octopus, moray eels, groupers, and nudibranchs. It is best treated as a calm-water boat dive with tidy buoyancy and a careful turnaround because the bay is remote and conditions can change with the weather.

Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Stay close to the wall, keep buoyancy tight over rock and Posidonia, and treat the turn as conservative even when the bay looks calm.
Access Restrictions
Best reached with a local boat operator from the Port de Pollença / Formentor side; the shoreline approach into Cala Murta is long and not the normal route for diving here.
Legal Notes
Follow local access rules for the Formentor and Cala Murta area and stay on the operator-led route.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided scuba dive along the wall with a calm-water entry, tidy buoyancy, and a conservative turnaround.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive route; the site is better handled on scuba with a guide.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel site; the interesting structure sits below easy surface range.
