Diving Into Mallorca

What are my memorable experiences about my couple of times Diving In Mallorca?

Because of an unseasonal jellyfish invasion, my checkout dive around the Cala was delayed so I only got to do one boat dive in the 2 weeks I was there. The beach had been closed for one day, so it was reasonable not to be diving from the beach!

The boat took us on quite a long trip out to sea and dropped us in over a small reef. We dropped down to about 30m, but the reef went a lot deeper still, so buoyancy control was essential.

There were plenty of nooks and crannies to explore, but I'd not realised so not taken a torch. In these were hidden Conger Eels that peered back out at us.

Shoals of Barracuda also swam past us at various points and lot of smaller fish.

Quite interesting, far better than the shore dive.
