La Bota is a submarine peak located 1500 metres off the coast of Ibiza West. The formation rises from depths exceeding 50 metres to reach just centimetres below the surface, where it is often marked by swirling waves. This site is designed for advanced divers due to the significant depth, variable currents, and potential for boat traffic. The topography consists of a steep wall and peak structure. Divers can expect to encounter typical Mediterranean reef fish and invertebrates associated with this open-sea habitat. Access is strictly by boat.

The summit is unmarked and the wave break disappears in chop, so a surfacing diver away from the rock can drift out of sight of the boat fast.
Most often from Cala d'Hort, the closest harbour to Es Vedra. Some centres run it from Es Cubells or as the offshore leg of a longer day from Marina Botafoch.
