Isla de Sa Galera

About this dive site

This dive site is located north of Es Vedrá, a small islet off the coast of Ibiza, Spain. The dive begins on a shallow platform at around 5 meters, gradually descending along a wall that extends to depths of 22 meters (although the description mentions reaching 30 meters, the provided maximum depth is 22). This wall is characterized by numerous holes and crevices, creating a fascinating landscape for exploration. The dive is generally a straightforward descent along the wall, allowing divers to explore the various nooks and crannies at their own pace.

Marine life is abundant and diverse. Divers can expect to see moray eels and octopus inhabiting the many holes. Yellow anemones and sponges adorn the wall, adding to the vibrant colors of the Mediterranean. Other common fish species in this region include groupers, sea breams, and various smaller reef fish. The presence of anemones also suggests the possibility of finding small crustaceans and other invertebrates.

The best time to visit is during the summer months (June-September) when the water is warmest and visibility is at its best. However, it's advisable to check weather conditions and sea state before embarking on a dive. While generally calm, currents can be present, so divers should have appropriate experience and buoyancy control. This dive is suitable for both scuba divers and experienced freedivers, provided proper safety measures are taken.
