Adventure Sports Skualo Portocolom - Balearic Islands
Skualo Portocolom gives you a solid base for exploring the southeast coast of Mallorca. We appreciate a dive centre that keeps things straightforward: good gear, a reliable boat, and an easygoing crew. They run trips out to the Cabrera Archipelago National Park, which is where you'll find some of the island's more interesting dives, often with barracuda schools hanging out in the blue. For divers looking to escape the busier parts of Mallorca, Portocolom offers a calmer vibe, and Skualo provides a no-fuss way to get under the water. It’s a good shout if you're keen on steady diving without a lot of bells and whistles.
