NINA 2

Nina II is a little secret we’re always happy to share. This yacht went down in '77 off Cala Blava, dragged onto the rocks in a storm, and settled in just four metres of water. It’s an easy, calm dive. You’re basically snorkelling, but it feels like a proper wreck dive, with plenty to nose around in the hull and superstructure. What we love here is how the wreck has completely fused with the reef. You’ll spot damselfish darting between the deck timbers, and often a few curious bream will come right up to your mask. The real stars are the nudibranchs, though. We’ve spent whole dives just combing the hull for them, finding bright splashes of colour against the rusted metal. It’s a perfect spot for macro photography, especially on a sunny afternoon when the light filters down, making the water glow. If you’ve got non-diving friends, they can easily snorkel above you and see most of the action.
