Sa Dragonera – Balearic Islands – Mallorca

Site Overview

Sa Dragonera is a marine reserve islet off the southwest coast, its vertical walls draped in red gorgonians and patrolled by huge groupers, barracuda and the occasional eagle ray. Advanced divers drift along the drop-offs at 18-45 m, enjoying some of Mallorca’s most dramatic scenery and visibility. The strong current and depth make it a serious but spectacular dive, and the protected status keeps the reef pristine. Sa Dragonera is a highlight for experienced Mediterranean divers. 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.
