This dive site, Cala Tuent, is located approximately 30 minutes by boat from a local dive center, offering a scenic ride along the Tramuntana coast. The underwater landscape is characterized by spectacular huge rock formations and big pinnacles that rise from a sandy bottom found at 30-35 meters. Divers can navigate around these impressive structures, exploring their crevices and overhangs. There is no specific history provided for this site, but its geological features are typical of the Mediterranean coastline.
The site's diverse topography provides habitat for various marine animals. While not explicitly detailed, the presence of rock formations and a sandy bottom suggests common Mediterranean fish species, crustaceans, and potentially nudibranchs. The description mentions a shark sighting once, indicating the possibility of encountering larger pelagic species, although not a regular occurrence. The rocky areas would be covered in Mediterranean corals and sponges, while the sandy areas might host flatfish and rays.
The best time to visit this dive site would likely be during the warmer months, typical for Mediterranean diving, when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally good. It is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, with an average depth of 10 meters and a maximum of 21 meters, allowing for extended bottom times and easy exploration. Snorkelers can also enjoy the shallower parts around the rock formations. Divers should be prepared for potential boat traffic given its boat access.
