This dive site, Portals Vells, is located in Mallorca, Spain, and offers a relatively shallow and calm diving experience, making it perfect for beginners. The dive site features a rocky coastal wall, ideal for exploration and observation of marine life. Both stationary and one-way dives are possible, catering to different skill levels and preferences.
The underwater landscape is rich in biodiversity. Divers can expect to encounter octopuses, moray eels, and small dragon heads (likely referring to fish of the Scorpaenidae family). Depending on the season, there's even a chance of spotting small barracudas. The rocky wall provides ample opportunities for exploring crevices and observing smaller creatures.
The best time to visit Portals Vells is during the warmer months, from May to October, when visibility is typically at its best and the water temperature is more comfortable. However, during peak season, boat traffic in the bay should be taken into consideration. Both divers and freedivers will enjoy the calm waters and rich marine life, but always prioritize safety and respect for the environment.
