Wall-and-cave dive at Cala Xarraca's western edge.
An easy wall-and-cave dive at the western edge of Cala Xarraca, with routes that scale from simple beginner-friendly lines to deeper profiles for experienced divers. The site mixes a compact wall, clear-water cove character, and a classic Balearic roster of groupers, moray eels, scorpionfish, spotted codling, and nudibranchs. Summer usually gives the cleanest window, while the steep cove geometry keeps the approach interesting.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A variety of wall dives are described, ranging from simple beginner dives to deeper profiles for experienced divers.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive objective. The wall is better suited to scuba, and the cave entrances should be treated as overhead diving.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only a backup on very calm days near the cove edge. The wall and cave structure are better suited to scuba.
