Cala Viola Ponent

This dive site, Cala Viola Ponent, is located near the Cap Cavalleria lighthouse in Menorca, Spain. It's an easy shore entry from a beautiful beach, making it accessible to divers of all experience levels. The dive involves exploring a relatively shallow area with a maximum depth of 16 meters, where the remains of a sunken sailboat rest on the seabed. Navigation is straightforward; simply follow the coastline and descend gently to explore the wreck and surrounding area. The marine life is diverse and abundant. Groupers and octopuses are commonly sighted, and during the beginning of the diving season (spring and early summer), you have a good chance of spotting stingrays and schools of barracudas. Other smaller fish and invertebrates add to the site's biodiversity, providing opportunities for macro photography. The best time to visit Cala Viola Ponent is during spring and early summer for the chance to see the larger pelagic species like stingrays and barracudas. Visibility is generally good. This site is well-suited for both scuba diving and freediving due to its calm waters and shallow depth. Remember to check weather and sea conditions before diving, and always dive with a buddy.
