Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Horse Shoe offers some of Balearic Islands's richest diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Horse Shoe, somewhere in the Balearics, typically offers a gentle introduction to Mediterranean diving. You'll likely find rocky formations and scattered posidonia seagrass, which acts as a nursery for smaller reef fish like damselfish and blennies. It’s a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive without strong currents. Expect to see moray eels peeking from crevices if you look closely.
