Why dive here
With 77+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), octopuses and sea turtles - Cala de Cap sa Sal offers some of Medes Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 14-24°C, warmest July, August, September.
Cala de Cap sa Sal is one of those Mediterranean sites that just feels right, especially on a sunny afternoon. We love how the light plays through the water here, illuminating the rocky slopes that drop away from the shore. You’ll weave through small canyons and overhangs, often spotting big dusky groupers holding court in the deeper crevices. Keep an eye out for European flying squid zipping past, and we’ve seen dogfish tucked into the sand patches more than once. The bushy coral here is particularly pretty, an explosion of delicate branches that make for a great backdrop to the salema and bass schooling nearby. This site is a fantastic spot for divers who appreciate the subtler beauty of the Med. It’s less about huge pelagics and more about the intricate details of the reef: the curled octopus peeking from a crevice, or a marbled electric ray settled in the sand. It’s also one of our picks for a relaxed long dive, letting you take your time exploring the nooks.
