MIMOSA

The Mimosa is a beast, plain and simple. We love that it’s right there, sitting in four metres of water, so accessible. This isn't some deep, dark mystery; it's a giant motor vessel, split in two, creating an artificial reef that’s just begging to be explored. You’ll feel the sheer scale of it even from the surface, especially if you catch it on a calm day when the light penetrates right down. We’re talking about a wreck from 1956, sunk in '79, and it shows its age in the best way – encrusted in sponges and anemones. Swimming through the broken sections, you’ll find schools of juvenile barracuda zipping between the metal plates and a surprising number of moray eels peering out from the crevices. Our favourite thing to do is just drift over the deck, imagining the journey from Buenos Aires to Barcelona before it ran aground. It’s a great spot for newer divers, or anyone who wants a long, leisurely dive without worrying about deco. Just keep an eye on the boat traffic in summer; it can get busy.
