CALA DEL VIDRE - Balearic Islands

Cala del Vidre offers a straightforward dive, often used by local centres for open water training or relaxed dives. You'll find a mix of rocky seafloor and some scattered Posidonia meadows, typically home to smaller Mediterranean wrasse, damselfish, and the occasional octopus tucked into crevices. It's a good spot for divers looking for an easy entry and minimal current, especially if you're keen on macro life or just getting comfortable in the water. Visibility here can vary, but on a good day, it's a pleasant, undemanding dive.
