Ibiza 2003

Days 1 to 3

This collection of pictures were taken at a small bay around Racó Verd where there is a ship wreck, parts of which have been washed up on shore at the bottom of the cliff-face. While the divers explored the wreck up close, Ian did a bit of snorkeling. We also did a bit of falcon-watching; two falcons had a nest 50 feet up the cliff face from where we dropped anchor. Unfortunately the zoom on our camera wasn't enough to get a good picture of them. The water depth averages about three metres around most of the bay, so is easy for those that don't dive to snorkel or swim. The area is also free from boat traffic and is of sufficient size to allow you to open up the throttle on the jet ski!

This is a picture of the rock formation known as "The Haystack". Where the rock breaks the water's surface the rock face has a near-vertical drop and provides divers with an opportunity to see a variety of sea creatures.

For those not diving, there is plenty of scenery to look at...

La Bassa is a perfect place to drop anchor and have some lunch followed by a nice bit of sunbathing. If you prefer to sun bathe on terra-firma you can swim ashore! There are plenty of rock formations and small caves to explore either on foot or by swimming. The bay is wide enough to do jet skiing.
