Bad Weather Shore Dive Site - not just for Bad Weather! |
Cala Olivera, our fail-safe dive site on the east of Ibiza, which affords us calm clear conditions when its blowing a hooly on our side and offers an easy, big, bright cavern dive at 18m, has become quite a regular feature on our dive programme. Apart from being a beautiful scenic dive, it makes a pleasant change from "boating it". |

The pilot cheated death and walked (swam) away with minor injuries after ditching in the sea. He crashed a similar publicity towing aircraft in a field in San Rafael last year and has since been given the nickname 'lucky'. |

This is what we saw on the way to the dive site !!! a SunFish, Poisson de lune (Moonfish), or whatever you want to call it, almost 2 metres from head to tail, we snorkelled around this giant for 20 mins on the surface before it got bored with us. |

New Dive Sites Isla Redonda Este (East Round Island) out on the Bledas outer islands, is one of our latest additions to our long list of dive sites. Starting on a clear white spit of rock, you descend from 6m slowly down to 15m on the south side glancing into the hundreds of cracks and fissures that host morays, octopus and a thousand different types of crab. The viz is astounding due to it being about 7nm from the main island. There are two underwater "humps" further past the island to the east which look interesting but are as yet unexplored. |
Its taken me almost !0 years and many attempts to get a photo of wild dolphins underwater . |
Not a pipe. Thats the prop shaft! |
The "Caves of Light" and the "Pillars of Hercules" are a couple of our spectacular cave dives. |
