Why dive here
With 148+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, octopuses, sea turtles, sperm whales and cuttlefish - Les Basetes offers some of Balearic Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 15-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Les Basetes makes for a solid, relaxed dive, especially if you're looking for something straightforward. It's a nice spot for a longer bottom time, letting you really comb through the nooks for smaller creatures. We've often found saddled seabream schooling here, and the blacktail bream are almost always around, sometimes in quite large numbers. Keep an eye out for moray eels tucked into crevices, and we’ve even spotted spiny butterfly rays cruising the sandy patches. It’s a good choice for newer divers or those who prefer a less strenuous day out, offering a pleasant dive without too much fuss.
