Freu

Cap des Freu is the rock headland at the north-eastern tip of Mallorca, reached by boat from the Cala Ratjada side. Underwater it is a rock landscape full of fish, with barracuda, moray eels and triggerfish along it, and octopus, flying gurnards, nudibranchs and groupers reported as well. The headland is exposed, with a current that is often slight and can pick up, and the dive starts and ends at the mooring buoy of the dive point.

A passage runs through the rock here, and a grotto beside it has an air surface where divers can come up. At 32 m a swing has been sunk, a man-made marker on the deeper part of the profile.

The site lies inside the Levante de Mallorca-Cala Rajada marine reserve, where diving needs a permit and individuals must show at least 25 dives, one of them in the last year. Night and shore dives are not allowed. The headland takes NE wind and swell, and dives move elsewhere when it is rough. The swing hangs at 32 m and the site reaches 40 m, past the roughly 33 m maximum operating depth of standard EANx32, so agree the mix with the operator for the depth you plan.
