About Illeta Nord
Illeta Nord is a protected boat-run islet dive off Mallorca with rocky ledges, sandy pockets, and a classic Mediterranean seabed that rewards calm-water planning. Around the anchor-marked sand and perimeter rock, divers commonly see octopus, moray eels, nudibranchs, small fish, and occasional barracuda, so it suits relaxed certified dives when the sea is settled.
