Guided Scuba Dive at the El Toro Marine Reserve
West Coast Divers Mallorca
Dive Mallorca's finest seabed. The El Toro marine reserve, off the island's south-west between Magaluf and Port Andratx, has been protected since 2004, and that recovery has made it the richest, most diverse dive ground on Mallorca — alive with groupers, moray eels, octopus and barracuda. Boats head out from around 09:00 to 13:00 for two dives; El Toro alone holds six different sites just ten minutes away by boat, suiting beginners and advanced divers alike. Beyond the reserve, the west coast offers fascinating wrecks, dramatic caves and sites like Isla del Sec around the Bay of Palma. The dive season runs May–September, and September delivers the best visibility of the year.
