If we position ourselves at Cala d'Aigua Xelida, heading towards Punta es Mut and look eastward, we can see a small islet emerging from the water — it is the peak of an underwater rocky formation called Furió d'Aigua Gelida.
Near the top of this formation, at around 14 metres depth, we find a spectacular arch that shelters numerous fish species. As we descend along the formation we reach the sandy seabed at around 30 metres.

The main attraction of this dive are the rocky formations we encounter throughout the dive — canyons, sandy corridors, majestic walls, tunnels lined with sponges and other geographical features.
Very close to the mooring buoy, heading south, we find an arch that will lead us through to the other side of the rocky formation. As we ascend we find numerous crevices and holes where we can spot lobsters, moray eels and groupers.
