S'Aigua blanca
Sa Aigua Blanca, also known as the Island of the Seagulls, is a charming dive site located near the sandy beach of the port of Portinatx in Spain. This small shoal, barely protruding from the water, offers an idyllic underwater experience for divers of all levels.
One of the highlights of diving at Sa Aigua Blanca is encountering the graceful pearly razorfish, a sight that will captivate underwater photographers. In addition to these elegant creatures, divers can also spot red scorpionfish, colorful nudibranchs, lobsters, and fascinating moray eels in their natural habitat.
Sa Aigua Blanca is particularly suitable for beginners, as the side of the shoal facing the land remains shallow, ranging from 3 to 9 meters in depth. Exploring this side of the shoal reveals a diverse seascape, including posidonia meadows (sea grass), pristine sandy beaches, and enchanting narrow passages amidst rocky formations. On the other side, facing the open sea, a shallow ledge extends before dramatically descending to a maximum depth of 20 meters.
With exceptional visibility reaching up to 21 meters, divers at Sa Aigua Blanca can fully appreciate the vibrant marine life and the extraordinary underwater scenery. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced diver, this dive site promises an unforgettable adventure just off the coast of Portinatx in Spain's beautiful Balearic Islands.
