About Isla Formentor
Isla Formentor is a clear-water Mediterranean arch-and-cave dive off Mallorca's north coast, with a rocky wall profile that quickly deepens and gives you a simple route through the arch, along the wall, and back into fish-rich rock. It suits controlled buoyancy more than raw effort, and the best days are the ones with calm boat timing and good light in the cave and open-water sections.

Local Intel For Isla Formentor
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Follow the wall, work through the arch, and keep an eye out for barracudas, octopus, moray eels, and nudibranchs as the rock opens up.
Freediving
Not the main use case. The deeper wall and arch sections fit scuba better than breath-hold diving.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling can work in the clearest shallows, but the arch and cave make scuba the better fit.
