About Isla de Cabrera

Isla de Cabrera is a protected Mediterranean marine-reserve dive area south of Mallorca, with clear water, reef and wall structure, and boat trips that reward careful site selection more than big physical effort. The dive is as much about reserve logistics and protected marine life as it is about depth, so the best days are the ones that match the permit, the boat plan, and the chosen bay or wall.

Local Intel For Isla de Cabrera

Community notes to help plan your visit.

Scuba

Boat trips can start in calm bay water and build into wall and reserve routes, with the operator choosing the exact site to fit conditions and permits.

Freedive

Not the main use case. The permit-based boat program and deeper sites are better aligned with scuba.

Snorkel

Snorkelling works in the clearest shallows, but the reserve is better experienced with scuba and a local boat operator.
