About this dive site

This dive site, Punta Galera, is located on the north coast of Ibiza, Spain, and is renowned for its suitability for divers of all experience levels. The underwater topography is varied, offering a range of depths from 12 to 40 meters, allowing divers to explore different sections depending on their certification and comfort level. Navigation is generally straightforward, with clear landmarks and relatively calm conditions. The site's popularity is largely due to its reliable visibility and abundant marine life.

The rich biodiversity of Punta Galera is a major draw. Divers can expect to encounter a wide array of species, including barracudas, golden groupers, common two-banded sea bream, moray eels, and other groupers. The site may also offer sightings of larger pelagic fish depending on the season and ocean currents. Numerous smaller invertebrates and colourful reef fish add to the overall appeal, making this site suitable for both macro and wide-angle photography.

Always maintain safe diving practices and dive within your limits and experience level.
