Beach-front Mallorca practice bay for discover scuba and open-water training, with shallow sand and mild conditions in the sheltered resort area.
About Palmanova Bay
Palmanova Bay is a sheltered shore-training bay right in front of Big Blue Diving in southwest Mallorca. Its shallow sandy bottom makes it ideal for Discover Scuba, open-water confined-water work, and refresher dives on calm days, with the beach and resort bay offering easy access but limited serious reef structure. Treat it as a beginner practice site, not a coral-diving destination.
