Es Banc
★★★★★
(3,255)
Just a short 10-minute navigation away Es Banc is one of our favourite dive sites within the marine reserve of Formentera. A maximum depth of 20 metres with an average depth of 15 metres. Usually, we follow the wall on this dive where we come across a small arch with lots of life.
Many species can be seen here: Barracuda, grouper, rays on the sand, octopus, moray eels and lots of different types of nudis!
