Frequently asked questions about diving in Sant Josep de sa Talaia

What is the Don Pedro wreck?

The Don Pedro is a cargo ship about 142 metres long sunk off the port of Ibiza, lying between 26 and 46 metres deep. It is the largest diveable wreck in the Balearics and, due to its depth, is reserved for Advanced and technical divers.

Can I dive the Es Freus reserve?

Yes, with valid certification and through centres authorised by the Balearic Government. Es Freus, between Ibiza and Formentera, protects one of the oldest and most extensive posidonia meadows on the planet, in extraordinarily clear water.

Do I need a permit to dive at Es Vedrà?

Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell are part of a protected natural area; dives are done through authorised centres that manage access, not independently. They offer beautiful vertical walls and caves.

What level do I need to dive in Sant Josep?

There are options for everyone: try dives and courses in sheltered coves such as Cala Tarida, and advanced wreck and wall dives (Don Pedro, Es Vedrà) for Advanced-certified divers or above.
