El Dique
Located in the beautiful waters of Ciudadela, Spain, our dive site at Port Son Blanc offers an incredible underwater experience. Just a short sail south from the port, you'll find yourself immersed in the vibrant marine life of the outer face of the dock. With a maximum depth of 19 meters and excellent visibility of 24 meters, this dive is suitable for divers of all levels, from beginners to advanced.
As you descend into the crystal-clear waters, you'll be greeted by a bustling ecosystem. Schools of salemas, striped red mullets, saddled seabream, white seabreams, two banded seabreams, rainbow wrasses, and groupers gracefully navigate the depths. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive dusky groupers, meagres, Mediterranean morays, and octopus, camouflaged among the rocks and crevices.
Exploring further, you'll encounter a fascinating sandbank in the sandbox area, home to unique species such as the cotton-spiner, banded dye-murex, and marbled electric ray. Continuing your dive along the outside of the dock, you'll come across a slope formed by settlement rocks, providing habitat for largescaled scorpionfish, octopus, and Mediterranean morays.
As you ascend to a depth of 10 meters, you'll discover a line of cubic structures, each approximately one cubic meter in size. These cubes create an artificial reef, attracting forkbeards, groupers, European congers, and meagres. Dive parallel to the dyke, gazing into the openings where marine life thrives.
Before concluding your dive, take a moment to explore the base of the dyke settlement, observing the fascinating rock formations and their inhabitants. On your ascent back to the boat, keep an eye out for the graceful ocean sunfish, common stingrays, and common eagle rays, adding a touch of magic to your underwater journey.
