Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Cave of Jeronimo offers some of Balearic Islands's richest cave diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Cave of Jeronimo offers a fascinating dive for those comfortable in overhead environments. We found the entry straightforward, leading into a series of chambers where sunlight filters through cracks, illuminating the rock formations. It’s a site for divers keen to explore geology rather than abundant marine life, though we did spot some cave-dwelling shrimp tucked into crevices. This spot is best for experienced cave divers looking for a unique Balearic experience.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
