About this dive site
This dive site is located in the small bay of Cala Galiota, on the island of Cabrera, Spain. It's a boat accessible dive site featuring a wall and various rock formations teeming with marine life from the surface down to 23 meters. Navigation is straightforward, following the wall and exploring the rock formations. The site is known for its diverse marine population and relatively calm conditions, making it suitable for all experience levels.
The abundant marine life includes groupers, which are the predominant species, along with schools of barracuda, occasional rays, and a wide variety of smaller fish and invertebrates. The rich biodiversity offers excellent opportunities for both macro and wide-angle photography. The underwater landscape is dramatic, with the wall offering an impressive backdrop to the diverse rock formations.
The best time to visit Cabrera is during the summer months (June to September) when the water is warmest and visibility is typically at its best. While freediving is possible within the shallower areas, divers should check current and wind conditions before embarking on a dive. Proper buoyancy control is recommended to avoid damaging the delicate marine ecosystem and enjoy a memorable diving experience. Remember that Cabrera is a national park, so respecting the marine environment is crucial.
