Cala Galiota is a boat-access reef located off the Cabrera Islands, Spain. The site features a significant depth profile, dropping from 27 metres down to 60 metres. Divers should be prepared for strong currents that can shift direction based on tide and season. Visibility typically ranges between 10 and 30 metres. Due to water temperatures remaining between 14 and 17 degrees Celsius throughout the year, a thicker wetsuit is recommended. The site includes an artificial reef structure, requiring divers to remain aware of their surroundings to avoid entanglement. Given the depth and current, this site is best suited for experienced divers.
