About Se Cova del Vell Mari
Se Cova del Vell Mari is a shallow boat dive off Mallorca with a sandy bottom, broad Posidonia meadows and several large rock formations. A small cavern and the surrounding rock-and-seagrass route make it better as a slow, exploratory dive than a fast swim-through, especially for night sessions and macro hunting. The site is beginner-friendly when conditions are calm, but boat traffic and the cavern keep buoyancy and awareness important.
