This dive site, known as Cova des Cavall (Horse Cave), takes its name from a distinctive rock formation resembling a horse, visible on the wall. Located approximately 25 minutes by boat from the dive shop after a scenic drive along the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, it offers beautiful underwater rock formations. The main attraction is the 'Horsecave' itself, which extends roughly 30 meters into the mountain before ascending and leading out again, functioning as an intriguing cavern and swim-through.
While specific marine species are not detailed, the site is known for 'nice critters,' suggesting a good variety of smaller Mediterranean marine life. Divers can expect to encounter various fish species common to the region, along with crustaceans, and potentially nudibranchs inhabiting the rock crevices and the entrance of the cavern.
The Cova des Cavall is suitable for divers seeking unique topography and cavern exploration. Its maximum depth of 25 meters and average depth of 12 meters make it accessible for intermediate divers, and experienced beginners under proper guidance for the cavern. Freedivers can also appreciate the shallow rock formations and the cavern entrance. The site is generally enjoyable throughout the main diving season in the Mediterranean, offering good visibility and opportunities for macro photography.
