Divers can navigate along these structures, exploring numerous life-filled holes and crevices where a diverse array of marine species find refuge. While specific historical details are not provided, the site offers a relatively shallow and engaging underwater topography suitable for relaxed exploration.
The site is teeming with marine life, including various fish species, and is particularly known for its inhabitants within the rocky holes such as moray eels, conger eels, and cleverly hidden octopuses. Divers will also encounter apogons, beautiful nudibranchs of various colors, and vibrant invertebrate life like white and orange gorgonians, madrepores, and false corals, all set against a backdrop of vital Posidonia seagrass meadows.
The optimal time to visit Plantació de Boines would likely be during the warmer months when water temperatures are more comfortable and marine activity is at its peak. Its shallow average depth of 9 meters and maximum of 18 meters make it an excellent choice for beginner divers and snorkelers. Freedivers will also find it very suitable due to the accessible depth and abundant macro life, offering great opportunities for underwater photography.
