Meta Description: Discover Mallorca’s underwater world on a guided scuba adventure from Pollenca, with scenic boat rides, cave exploration, and expert supervision.

If you’re someone with an Open Water certification or higher and craving a memorable diving experience in Mallorca, this tour offers a compelling blend of excellent scenic views, professional guidance, and the chance to see marine life in its natural habitat. For just $79, you get a roughly 2 to 3-hour experience that includes a boat ride along the coast, a supervised dive, and the chance to explore caves, barracudas, and octopuses.

What makes this tour especially appealing is the personalized small-group approach—you won’t be lost in a crowd—and the expert guidance from certified SSI instructors. We love the way this setup emphasizes safety and individual attention, allowing you to fully enjoy the underwater scenery without feeling rushed or overlooked. Plus, the scenic boat ride past Cape Formentor and Cape Pinar offers a stunning coastal backdrop that complements the underwater adventure perfectly.

One thing to consider is that this activity requires a valid diving license, so if you’re not certified, you’ll need to explore other options. Also, the timing and punctuality are important, as the tour is relatively short and groups tend to be small for maximum enjoyment. This experience suits certified divers eager for a scenic, guided exploration of Mallorca’s underwater caves and cliffs, rather than complete beginners or non-swimmers.

A Deep Dive into the Experience

This Mallorca scuba tour starts with a comfortable, small-group gathering at the dive center, where your guides handle paperwork, check your certification, and help you gear up. We appreciated the personalized approach — it’s clear the staff value safety and individual skill levels. If you need to rent equipment, it’s available on-site, making the process straightforward.

The boat ride itself is an integral part of the experience. For about 45 to 50 minutes, you’ll cruise along the stunning coastline, passing Cape Formentor and Cape Pinar, with a shaded area at the front of the boat where you can sit, relax, and take in the breathtaking views. This part of the trip is a highlight, offering a chance to enjoy Mallorca’s rugged cliffs and shimmering waters from a vantage point that’s both comfortable and scenic.

Once at the dive site, your SSI-certified instructor will give a thorough briefing tailored to your experience and the site conditions. We loved the attention to detail — safety checks, equipment adjustments, and sharing key information about what you’ll see underwater. The dive typically lasts around 45 to 50 minutes, during which small groups of 4 to 5 divers explore caves, grottos, and cliffs teeming with life.

In the water, you might find barracudas, moray eels, octopuses, and schools of fish, depending on the season. The underwater topography is stunning — walls, caves, and underwater arches create a surreal landscape. The magical lighting inside caves and grottos adds a mysterious charm, making the experience memorable.

After surfacing, you can easily reboard the boat via the ladder, rinse your gear back at the center, and relax in their chill-out zone. The entire activity takes about 2 to 3 hours, making it a manageable and rewarding addition to your Mallorca itinerary.

The cost of $79 is quite reasonable when you consider the safety, guidance, boat transfer, and the unique underwater scenery. We think this offers excellent value, especially given the small group size and personalized service.

Practical details

What we liked most was the combination of scenic coastal cruising and underwater exploration — it’s an experience that balances adventure with comfort. The knowledgeable guides make a big difference, providing insights that deepen your appreciation of the marine environment. Plus, the small group size means you’re not just another face in a crowd, but part of an intimate adventure.

Regarding logistics, punctuality is key as the tour runs in the afternoon and groups are small. Bring your diving certification, logbook, swimsuit, towel, and ID. The tour is suitable for experienced divers, but not for non-certified or non-swimmers. It’s also worth noting that the tour does not include insurance, so you’ll want to have that arranged beforehand.

Who will love this tour?

This experience is perfect for certified divers who want to explore Mallorca’s underwater caves and cliffs in a relaxed, guided setting. It’s ideal if you appreciate scenic boat rides, small-group attention, and the chance to see marine life up close. It’s less suitable for children under 12, pregnant women, or those with mobility issues, as the activity requires a certain level of physical fitness and certification.

Final thoughts

Mallorca’s Scuba Dive Adventure at Cap Formentor offers a balanced mix of scenic coastal views, expert supervision, and underwater discovery. It’s an accessible yet adventurous option for certified divers eager to explore Mallorca’s marine environment without the crowds of larger tour groups.

This tour shines because of its personalized approach, attention to safety, and stunning natural scenery — both above and below the water. It provides excellent value for anyone looking to add a marine dimension to their Mallorca vacation, especially if you’re comfortable with diving and want an experience that’s both scenic and professionally guided.

While the experience is ideal for those with certification, non-divers might find other activities like snorkeling or boat tours more suitable. But for certified divers, this adventure is a meaningful way to see Mallorca from a fresh perspective and create lasting memories under the sea.
