Rock bars and Posidonia with easy boat access
Boat departures are scheduled by the local center, so booking ahead is the practical way in.
Plantació de Boines is a shallow Mediterranean boat dive built around rock bars that run perpendicular to the coast, with pocketed holes in Posidonia creating a busy, sheltered-looking reefscape. The route is calm and easy to read, so divers can focus on the ledges and cracks where moray eels, conger eels, octopus, nudibranchs, and gorgonians tend to show well. It suits relaxed scuba outings when the sea is settled.
