LIVEABOARD DIVING IN Portocolom
Porto Colom is a quiet family resort on the southern half of the east coast of Mallorca, with a wonderful environment. Palma de Mallorca Airport is located in 58 km. The main feature of the town is the well-preserved Naveta (prehistoric burial sites on Mallorca) and the large natural harbor, which is home to a number of fishing and sailing boats and leisure craft. Most of the entertainment in Porto Colom is based in the hotels, but during mid-July the lively fiesta of La Verge del Carme takes place here. There is also a large beach (the main beach is called Cala Marçal) and 2 smaller resort beaches. Along the eastern coast there are many dive sites for all tastes and levels that can be reached in a short time by boat from Porto Colom. In these crystal-clear waters divers can enjoy a variety of beautiful underwater scenery, such as cliffs, tunnels, caves, and wrecks, and can even experience night dives.
Some of the must-see dive sites within a short distance are the Column wreck, Cala Sa Nau, Skylight Cave, and the Big Cheese. The Big Cheese is a very interesting dive for all diver levels, and has a large rock full of holes and tunnels.
