The marine life in the Pollença Bay and Formentor Peninsula is characteristic of the Mediterranean, with a variety of fish species inhabiting the rocky reefs and seagrass meadows. You will encounter a range of typical Mediterranean fish throughout the different habitats.

The underwater topography, particularly around the caves and walls, supports a healthy population of fixed life. Gorgonians and various sponge species provide colour and structure to the reefs, creating complex environments for smaller organisms.

Macro life enthusiasts will find plenty to observe among the crevices and rocky outcrops. The area is well-suited for spotting various crustaceans and smaller invertebrates that inhabit the Mediterranean seabed.

The waters around the Pollença Bay and the Formentor Peninsula are generally known for being calm, with no strong currents typically encountered. This makes the area accessible for a wide range of divers, from beginners to advanced practitioners.

Conditions are favourable for diving almost year-round, though the specific nature of the sites—such as the caves and tunnels—is best experienced when the swell is low.
