Nautilus

About this dive site

This dive site, Nautilus, is a relatively shallow and easily accessible dive located a short boat ride from a dive center near the Tramuntana coast in Spain. The dive site is named after the nearby Nautilus restaurant. The underwater topography features a beautiful wall adorned with interesting rock formations, interspersed with sandy patches. A notable highlight is a large swim-through rock formation, although it is deeper than the stated maximum depth of the site itself (22m). Divers should therefore remain within the shallower, safe areas of the site.

The marine life at Nautilus is diverse, although not abundant in large pelagic species. Divers can expect to see a variety of fish species common to the Mediterranean Sea, along with various invertebrates and smaller crustaceans nestled within the rock formations and sandy patches. The presence of specific fish species and invertebrates will depend on the season and the year's overall marine conditions. Macro photography enthusiasts may find suitable subjects.

The best time to visit Nautilus is during the warmer months (spring and summer) when water temperatures are most pleasant and visibility is typically better. Conditions are generally calm, making it suitable for both scuba diving and freediving. Divers and freedivers should always maintain awareness of their depth and adhere to safe diving practices, taking note of the swim-through's depth. Water clarity and marine life presence will vary depending on weather conditions. Always check with the dive center for real time conditions before heading out.
