DON PEDRO

The *Don Pedro* is a proper wreck dive, no doubt about it. We’re talking a massive roll-on, roll-off ferry, 142 metres long, sitting upright in 41 metres of water off Ibiza. It went down in 2007, and since then, it's become less of a ship and more of a structure for everything else out there. Drop down and you’ll start seeing the sheer scale of it; the stern is impressive, but we love finning along the upper deck, looking down into the open car decks where light filters through, playing on the corals that have started to bloom. This isn't just a big piece of metal, either. Shoals of barracuda often cruise past the bridge, and we’ve seen some seriously chunky groupers lurking in the shadows of the cargo hold. You can penetrate parts of the wreck, but it's a big place, so pick a section and really explore it rather than trying to see it all in one dive. Our tip: aim for slack tide if you can, as currents can pick up around the wreck, making the sheer size of it feel even more imposing. It’s a dive for those comfortable with depth and a bit of a current, offering a real sense of history and marine life reclaiming its own.
