About this dive site

This dive site is located adjacent to the Hotel Bonanza Playa & Spa, offering convenient access via a jetty or stairs. The underwater terrain features a rapid slope reaching a maximum depth of 21 meters. A noteworthy feature is the presence of goldenstripes, which have adapted to feeding from hotel guests and bathers. Just before exiting the bathing bay towards the west, divers can explore a small sunken pleasure boat wreck and a large anchor, potentially linked to wrecks from the Palma area. The dive continues over an artificial reef constructed with substantial concrete blocks and natural rocks – these serve as bank reinforcements. Expect to encounter a diverse array of fish species during this dive. Strong currents are occasionally present, attracting barracudas that target sardines, which in turn provide sustenance for cormorants. Octopus sightings are common, particularly during the spring months, alongside thread snails. Visibility can vary.
