Diving in Port de Sóller: the essentials

Port de Sóller is the gateway to diving in the Serra de Tramuntana, on Mallorca's north-west coast. Its sheltered bay and the surrounding cliffs give way to rocky seabeds, caves and gorgonian walls home to groupers, moray eels and octopuses. It combines easy dives for beginners inside the bay with more demanding trips out to the exterior walls.
