About La Mola
La Mola is a boat-access dive from Mahón with a shallow mooring and an easy route across sand, rocks, and Posidonia meadows. It is sheltered and calm, especially when the Tramontana blows, so it works well for try-dives and training courses while still offering wrasse, stingrays, octopus, moray eels, and juvenile barracudas.
