El Toro Boya 1 is a boat-accessed Mallorca reserve wall dive with a shallow platform and a vertical drop into clear Mediterranean water. The site is popular because it is easy to reach, suits a wide range of divers, and regularly delivers schools of fish, groupers, moray eels, and other classic reserve life. It is a straightforward buoy site rather than a technical dive, but the wall still rewards good buoyancy and attention to the reserve rules.

Scuba Diving
Suitable for both beginners and advanced divers, with multiple different sites in the area.

The buoy sites are mainly set up for scuba; snorkeling is secondary and depends on surface conditions.
