This dive site, Sa Foradada, meaning 'the hole,' is about a 30-minute boat ride from local dive centers. It's named after a famous rock formation that features a natural hole, a well-known viewpoint from land. Underwater, divers can explore beautiful rock formations, sandy areas, and Posidonia meadows. The site is particularly spectacular when sunlight filters through the hole, creating stunning light effects and offering accessible swim-throughs.
The marine life at Sa Foradada primarily consists of creatures inhabiting the Posidonia oceanica seagrass beds and the surrounding rocky and sandy areas. Divers can expect to encounter various Mediterranean fish species, possibly some crustaceans hiding in the rock formations, and other small critters typical of healthy seagrass ecosystems.
The best time to visit Sa Foradada is when the sun is high, enhancing the dramatic light show through the rock's natural arch. It's an excellent spot for wide-angle photography, especially during these periods. Both divers and freedivers will appreciate the shallow average depth and the impressive underwater landscapes and accessible swim-throughs.
