EAST COAST TOP 5 Diving Spots
DON PEDRO: A must dive for all certified divers with at least the Advanced Open Water certification. This monster of the deep is recognised as one of the biggest wrecks in Europe. At a maximum depth of 38 metres this dive will rock your world. Deep, big and full of life what more could you want.
FISH FACTORY: By far the best dive in Ibiza for fish life and water clarity has to be the Fish Factory or La Mariana in Formentera. This dive is deep but the water is so clear and full of Barracuda in numbers that is hard to fathom. A maximum depth of 33 metres this sunken platform has been on the top dive list of Ibiza for years and guarantees happiness from all that dive it.
DADO PEQUEÑO: This island may be small but the amount or diversity you can find on it is mind blowing. Apart from schools of hunting barracudas you will find here large shoals of damsel fish and Amberjacks which can grow up to about 80cm. Dado Pequeño maxs out around 30 metres like most of the island dives and has areas for every level of divers to enjoy.
LLADO SUR: Like most of the islands dotted around Ibiza it is exposed to the elements and on a good day can be a dive that will blow your socks off. With a swim through from one side of the island to the other this dive has it all. When conditions are right it is best to dive here in the mornings to get there before the crowd. It is common to have 3 or 4 dive schools fighting for the best mooring spot on any given day.
THE CATHEDRAL: This dive located at the mouth of Cala Llonga bay is both easy and spectacular. A huge cavern opens up after swimming through the mouth of this cave at 12 metres. Slowly surface inside the cave and you will find a huge air pocket with clean air and stalactites. The dive doesn't finish there if you want you can go around the Pulpit and into the Chapel. This part of the dive is only for divers with a good level and a torch is recommended to see the Cathedral in all its heavenly glory.
Like all dives in Ibiza you have to plan your dives with the wind and sea conditions in mind. Very rarely do you find currents because there is no tide in the Mediterranean but it is advised to dive with a dive centre that can organise dives depending on your level.
