Boat dive around eroded islets north of Ibiza with big fish schools.
Boat access and the exposed offshore setting make a local guide the practical choice.
Ses Formigues is a pair of small eroded islets off northern Ibiza. The dive is boat-access and centers on rocky walls, small ledges, and open water around the islets, with pelagic fish schools often moving through the site. Because the site is exposed, plan for changing currents, surface chop, and a guided approach rather than a casual shore entry.
