Cova del Vell Marí is a cave dive located along the Tramuntana Coast of Majorca. Reached exclusively by boat, the site sits at depths between 10 and 16 metres, with an average of 13 metres. The cave features an overhead environment where natural light fades quickly, requiring the use of torches. Divers should maintain awareness of surge near the entrance, which can reduce visibility and push against sharp rock walls. Conditions are generally mild, though visibility varies from 10 to 25 metres. Species recorded around this area include Mediterranean moray, common octopus, European common cuttlefish, and various wrasses. This site is suitable for beginners, though proper cave awareness is essential.

Because surge can reduce visibility and push you toward sharp rock walls inside the cave, avoid the site after rough weather and enter only when the sea state is calm. Come with a primary and backup torch even though this is a shallow cave, as natural light fades quickly once you move into the interior.
