Freediving in Cala Major

Cala Major offers a surprisingly wild coastline for freediving just minutes from Palma. The crystal-clear Mediterranean waters here drop quickly to depths of 15-20 meters, perfect for beginners and experienced freedivers alike. Local freedivers know this spot for its gentle entry and abundant marine life, including colorful wrasse, octopus, and occasional barracuda.

Freediving in Cala Major is about connecting with the sea on its own terms. The bay's rocky edges and submerged caves create an underwater playground that changes with the light. Early mornings bring calm waters and the best visibility, when the sun angles through the surface to illuminate the sandy bottom.

What makes this spot special is the contrast between the busy beach above and the tranquil world below. Ten meters down, the noise fades entirely, leaving only the sound of your own heartbeat. The local dive shop provides equipment rental and guided sessions for those wanting to explore safely.

Whether you're holding your breath for the first time or refining your technique, Cala Major delivers a genuine freediving experience. The water stays warm from June through October, and the easy access from the shore means more time in the water and less time setting up.
