Bau de Cap Trencat

About this dive site

This dive site, Bau de Cap Trencat, is located 200m off the coast of Cala Montjoi, offering a diverse underwater landscape. The dive begins in shallower waters around 12 meters, gradually descending to a maximum depth of 23 meters. The seabed transitions between sandy patches, areas of coralligenous growth, and rocky formations, creating an interesting underwater topography that offers a variety of navigation possibilities. There is no known specific history associated with the site beyond its naturally occurring beauty.

The area is rich in marine life. Divers can observe a variety of fish, including grouper, barracuda, sea bass, and scorpionfish. Smaller inhabitants like lobsters, skates, and various smaller fish species are also abundant. The rocky areas and coralligenous formations provide habitats for a range of crustaceans and invertebrates, making it suitable for macro photography.

The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months, from late spring to autumn, when the water is clearer and warmer. Visibility is generally good, though currents can be moderate at times; divers and freedivers should be aware of this. The depth range makes it suitable for freedivers, but divers should pay attention to their air consumption, especially during exploration of the deeper parts of the site.
