One of the favourite Majorca attractions is scuba diving. Scuba diving is the ultimate sea activity and there are different worlds under the water just waiting to be discovered.

It’s a great way to quickly and safely get exploring the wonderful watery worlds that lie beneath the surface in no time at all.
