By popular demand we head back to the water. The north shore of Mallorca is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here the ragged mountains drop straight into the sea. The coast abounds with caves and swim-throughs. Unfortunately, the reefs are stressed and what fish there are, are mostly juveniles. We were told that on the south side of the island lie a couple of nature reserves which are in much better shape.<\/p>\n

It was Carol\u2019s first diving in a year, and the first for me in four years. After struggling with our wetsuits, thanks to our Covid-19 (lbs.), we appreciated the steel air tanks\u2019 added negative buoyancy. After a couple of days we settled in, and I remembered how to breathe slowly enough to stay under water for almost an hour.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in Port Soller, check out Octopus Mallorca<\/a> diving center. Friendly folks who train PADI dive masters on a regular basis. They took great care of us, right down to the rock and roll playlist during our surface interval.<\/p>\n
