The underwater topography is characterized by a diverse landscape of rocky formations interspersed with Neptune grass meadows and sandy patches. This creates a visually interesting and varied dive profile, suitable for divers of all experience levels, but ideally suited for beginners due to its relatively shallow maximum depth. Navigation is straightforward, following the natural contours of the rocks and seagrass beds.
The marine life at Bahia del Pont de’n Gil is abundant and varied. Divers can expect to encounter a rich array of species including marbled electric rays, striped red mullet, various bream species (white seabream, two-banded seabream, saddled seabream), ornate and rainbow wrasses, black sea urchins, and starfish. The presence of these species indicates a healthy and thriving ecosystem.
The best time to visit Bahia del Pont de’n Gil is during the warmer months (spring and summer), when the water temperature is most pleasant and visibility tends to be at its best. It's advisable to check the weather and sea conditions before heading out for a dive.
