About Es Pas
Es Pas is a sheltered marine-reserve boat dive in front of Illa de Porros, where a shallow platform, a short wall section, and a sandy run usually bring barracudas, stingrays, eagle rays, groupers, octopus, and moray eels. It is best for divers who are comfortable with changing current and a guided reserve entry.

Local Intel For Es Pas
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best as a guided boat dive in the reserve, with buoyancy control for the shallow platform and return leg.
Freedive
Not a primary freedive site because the boat profile and changing current make it better for scuba.
Snorkel
Not a snorkel-first site; the interesting structure sits below the easy surface zone.
