The island of Formentera has unbeatable characteristics for diving. Ibiza and Formentera (the Pitiusa Islands) have surprisingly transparent and colourful waters. 

Their coasts form one of the few well-preserved corners of the Mediterranean. There is a good reason why the Freus Marine Reserve of Ibiza and Formentera is located here. It is the only natural area in the whole Mediterranean Sea included on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. 

Concerning diving, the first thing to highlight is the excellent visibility (up to 50 metres) and the variety of landscapes characterising the area: caves, walls with sea fans, pieces of wrecks, shallow dives with very beautiful landscapes, posidonia prairies considered the best preserved in the Mediterranean, etc. 

Visibility characteristics 

Visibility in the water varies depending on the time of year, ranging from 15 to 50 metres. 

Water temperature characteristics 

The climate is very good throughout the year, which makes diving possible throughout the season, with maximum temperatures of 30 degrees in summer, 22 degrees in spring and autumn and 15 degrees in winter. 

Variety of landscapes 

The main characteristic of diving on Formentera is the great variety of underwater landscapes that can be found in such a small area. In a few miles to the north of the island you can dive and find walls, wrecks, caves, deep dives with sea fans, shallow dives, dives in posidonia prairies, etc.
