Sa pedrera 01

The Hermanos Florit wreck sits close to La Savina on Formentera's west coast, set in an extensive Posidonia oceanica meadow. The mooring is on a large rock; from there a wall runs north to south from 12 to 25m, its surface layered with sponge growth, nudibranchs, flatworms, and feather stars. A small crack at the base of the mooring rock around 15m offers a point of interest on the approach. The wreck itself rests in this zone — its colonised hull now supporting groupers and moray eels in and around the structure, with conger eels working the interior.

The posidonia meadow setting gives the site a character different from rocky reef dives. The filtered light in the meadow zones and the textured hull surface reward photographers with close-up subjects at a manageable depth.

For an all-levels site at 12-29m, the Punta Pedrera wreck holds more texture than the certification suggests. The adjacent wall gives photographers a colonised canvas from shallow to moderate depth. The wreck adds structure and shadow. Together they make a single dive that moves through open posidonia, a multi-species wall, and a colonised steel hull — three distinct environments without leaving the site. Proximity to La Savina makes it the natural choice for a first morning dive or a warm-up before a deeper afternoon site.

Some current is reported at Punta Pedrera; check the day's conditions with your operator before heading out. The posidonia mooring requires care — position above the meadow rather than anchoring in it. Macro photography kit suits this site well. From September, amberjack schools may pass through. A 5mm wetsuit covers summer; bring a 7mm for shoulder-season diving.
