Illa de Formentor
The islet off Formentor beach inside the Bay of Pollença. A progressive wall from about 6 m to 20 m with moray eels, groupers and nudibranchs in the cracks; the highlight is a wide arch at about 14 m you swim through, and the route finishes beside the outer part of the cave at a narrow gap called "the eye of the needle". Common dentex, octopus, white seabream, salema and barracuda are seen. Suitable for all levels per 220bars. Position estimated, for orientation only.
