The Lighthouse might be one of the most famous divesites on Ibiza, not just for the actual sunken lighthouse itself, but surely also for the amount and variety of sealife you can find there. We normally anchor shallow and close to the lighthouse, so the descent is nice and short and you already get a glimpse of the lighouse. We start the dive in North-East direction following the side of the reef, gently descending on the way. Already you can start spotting the numerous morey eels that inhabit this reef, accompanied by the groupers that follow all your movements from the safety of many boulders and cracks. Looking up to the reef you’ll be surpised by large schools of small fish that you didn’t notice at first. Reaching 26 meters of depth the reef gives way to a sandy sea bed, where often a large school of baracudas gently hovers. On the right you will notice a canyon, which we will turn into, and this canyon will mark our turnaround point. Through the canyon where lot’s of baracudas also swim around we start ascending and pop over the side to follow the side of the reef back to where we came from. You will see the top of the reef is teaming with life and often octopus or even a sea hare will be out and about. Coming back to the lighthouse itself we will now explore it and find fish on all sides hiding behind, or underneath it. If time and air allow, we continue past the lighthouse exploring the less steep part of the reef where occasionally rays have been spotted. Slowly turning around again we swim back to the boat at 5 meters enjoying the last bits of the reef and doing our safety stop at the same time. Back in the boat time will have flown by and you will surely want to return to this amazing site.

Llado Sur

Llado Sur is the brother island from Llado Norte and is located halfway between our diving center and Ibiza town. It is mostly famous for its crack, where you can literally swim through the island and pop out on the other side. We start the dive on the shallow part of the island and dive down to around 12 meters to start the dive in south/east direction. Quickly you’ll find yourself at the corner of the island, where we leave the plateau and start following the wall on our left, diving further down to a maximum of 33 meters on the back side of the island. Looking in between large scattered boulders you will find langouste and morey eels. Coming up to the next corner of the island, we start climbing again, so we can turn left onto the 12 meter plateau on the nort/east side of the island. Here you can often find schools of barracuda roaming around. Slowly climbing up to 7 meters of depth we find ourselves back at the anchor again, but instead of surfacing, we now turn left and suddenly see the crack, and the deep blue on the other side of the island. Following the guide single file, you swim through the island, where you can sometimes feel the power of the sea, moving you forwards and backwards again. Enjoying the colours in the crack, you will find yourself out the other side too quickly… Turning right we follow the wall back around and start swimming at 5 meters doing our safety stop on the way back to the boat. It is this corner of the island that often hosts loads of fish, from schools of baracuda to bait balls being chased around by predator fish.

The Cathedral

There is no dive site better for starting your cave diving adventure than The Cathedral. An amazing cave experience, without being difficult or deep, makes this the perfect choice for unexperienced cave enthusiasts. Only 15 minutes away from our diving center, we anchor directly in front so it’s only a few minutes from the boat to the entrance. You’ll feel small swimming into the massive entrance, switching on your torch, whilst your surroundings slowly get darker and darker. Early into the dive, just when you start getting used to the darkness and ‘cave feeling’, our dive guide will signal you to ascent…. Upon reaching the surface you can fully take in what the Cathedral is all about. You find yourself in a massive room, with stalagtites where obviously the only way to enter, is the way you just came. From this room you can clearly see the blue light coming from the entrance and you wonder how long it has been here, before divers ever discovered it. After enjoying looking around in this amazing room, we continue our dive and descent down to around 12 meters. You follow the guide, who then asks you to get in single file. Exciting! You enter a tunnel, small enough to have a proper cave dive feeling, but large enough to be safe to dive through. In this tunnel is where you can find the see-through shrimp zooming around the bottom. After a sharp turn left and a short dip underneath some rocks, you find yourself back in the main room again, directly looking into the amazing blue sea, through the entrance. Following the right side of the room, looking into cracks and behind rock, you end up in the little garden where anemones grow. From here you follow the guide back out through the entrance again and finish the dive gently swimming round the outside of the cave, where you find a nice swimthrough, groupers and dorada. An easy, shallow but amazing and exciting dive that you’ll be remembering for a long time.

Don Pedro

Site Details

Average dive time: 35 minutes
Maximum depth: 40 meters
Distance to diving center: 30 minutes
Type of dive: Wreck
Highlights: Propellor, bridge area, school of barracudas
Currents: Occasionally light current
Minimum certification: Advanced Open Water. (Deep diver to go to 40m and wreck specialty to penetrate) & minimum 50 dives in your logbook.
Special consideration: Book a 15 liter tank if you’re not so good on air.
Fuel fee: 10€
Marine Reserve: Yes

Without a doubt the most famous dive site of Ibiza. The Don Pedro speaks to your imagination like no other, waiting for you in the deep of Ibiza. After arriving on the wreck site, we have to attach the boat on our private mooring buoy, directly positioned above the main structure of the ship. Diving down the line to 27 meters of depth, the silhouet of the Don Pedro slowly reveals itself. It’s massive! When all divers have arrived, we start the dive over the side and descent to the propellor first, which, again, is huge and in good shape. Looking upwards to the propellor, with the deep blue in the background, you’ll be impressed immediately. Continuing towards the stern and around the corner we’ll find langouste that have made the Don Pedro their home. Our next turn shortly after, brings us on the top side of the ship where the bridge comes into view straight away. Doors and windows to look inside, railings and the main mast fight for your attention. Turning right again, you find yourself in front of the bridge, and wonder who stood behind those windows when the ship went down in 2007…. Just in front of the bridge the deck has broken away, and we can have a quick peek inside where you can see lorries lying on their side inside the wreck. With the right certification, we can penetrate a bit deeper obviously. You will have reached your decompression limit by now and we need to start ascending a bit on our way back to the line. Swimming over the wreck you can really take in its sheer size and start enjoying a good overview on your way up whilst swimming through barracuda territory. The water temperature will increase again on your ascent and you can enjoy your 3 minutes at 5 meters before surfacing after a dive you will never forget.

The Fish Farm

The Fish farm is the dive site that is furthest away from our diving center. Upon arrival we first need to moor of the boat, but then the fun begins! You will be stunned by the sheer size of the platform on your descent. When it collapsed in a storm more than 20 years ago, one side of the platform was actually still supported by the huge pillars, so it rests at a 45 degree angle. One side on the pillars, the other side on the seabed at 33m. We will drop down through one of the holes in the platform and quickly find ourselves at 30m, in the shade of the massive platform. Swimming around the outside of the base, where most of the pillars still stand up straight, you will start seeing schools of fish, and once you’ve spotted your first nudibranch on the debris, you keep seeing them everywhere. The beautiful Flabellinas in bright purple or orange, are in sharp contract to the massive presence of the structure. We continue our circle and find ourselves under the structure again quickly. We now go through one of the holes in the platform again, and find ourselves exploring the top side of it, where large fish come and have a look at their visitors. Large groupers and Denton call this structure their home and often a large school of barracudas slowly swim in circles inside the wreckage. Slowly working our way up the platform we do a last up-and-down the top of the structure at 14m, before starting up the line for our safety stop which gives us a last and amazing overview of the whole site. The Fish Farm has earned its place amongst the 3 most amazing dive sites of Ibiza, and is a spectacular dive that you will not soon forget.

Llado Norte

Ila Redona

Ila Redona is the closest dive site to our diving center, and therefore one where we go often. The site is called after the island ‘Redona’, but although protected by the island, we actually dive the reef behind it. You start you descent on a plateau full with the protected and famous Posidonia sea grass field at 12 meters. Keeping the reef to the left we stick to 12 meters of depth for a few minutes until we find a small dropoff to 20 meters. It is this corner where often large schools of barracudas hang out. In minutes you will find yourself at the head of the reef, where you can occasionally find bait-balls being chased by individual barracudas and Amber jacks. Keeping the reef to the left, we now find ourselves on the outside of the reef, where we follow the sandy path at 26 meters for a while. At the end of it a small wreck occurs, which has been torn apart by the sea, but is still very recognisable. After a short snoop around it, we follow the sandy path back to the second wreck site, where we find pieces of a sailing boat (mostly the engine and mast). Although in itself this wreck is not too interesting, it is inhabited by diverse types of fish like morey eels, congers eels and smaller fish. We now start to go up the reef again, and turn right to keep following it until we reach a plateau at 18 meters, where we turn left onto it. From here onwards the depth slowly decrease to around 8 meters, whilst we follow the side of the reef where there are groupers hiding in between boulders and in the little cave you can find here. Before turning left around a breath taking overhanging wall, we first turn right and explore in between loads of scattered, large boulders. Eventually we encounter a rock wall, that we follow back to the left. Since this too is overhanging, you will find yourself looking up whilst swimming underneath it, and enjoying the beautiful light playing through the cracks. Passing through the canyon at around 5-7 meters of depth we start our safety stop whilst enjoying all the fish that hide there, on our way back to the boat.

Chimenea

The Chimenea is located on the outside of the same reef as the Lighthouse, where it’s deeper and the reef is a steep wall dropping down from 12m straight to 30m. We drop over the edge and follow this wall in South-West direction, going around multiple sharp corners. This is where conger eals hide and you can find an old sunken buoy lying on the seabed at 28m. At around 120 bars we start climbing up the wall whilst we turn around and follow it back at shallower depth. Instead of going directly to the boat, we pass it and find a plateau at 18m. Turning left onto this plateau, all the way in the left side corner, we will find the entrance to the Chimenea. Once inside the Chimenea (or ‘chimney’) we have beautiful light falling in from the top through several cracks. Following our way up the Chimenea, we pop out at 12 meters and, once all divers are out, we swim back on top of the reef at 5m, making our safety stop on the way to the boat.
