    Site Overview

    Isla de Tagomago off northeast Ibiza is a vertical-walled islet clad in gorgonians and home to large dentex, moray eels and the chance of dolphins in the blue. Advanced divers follow the drop-offs at 12-38 m, enjoying excellent visibility and the island’s protected status. The walls offer both wide-angle drama and macro interest, and the surrounding channel adds pelagic excitement. Tagomago is a classic Ibiza big-wall dive. The site rewards careful planning, good buoyancy and respect for Spain’s marine-protection rules, and remains a favourite among divers who value dramatic volcanic or Mediterranean scenery, historic wrecks and rich marine life across a long, varied season.
