The Experience

“You sure you’ve never done this before?” That’s what Miguel asked as I wobbled into my wetsuit, trying not to fall over on the dock in Porto Cristo. The air smelled like sunscreen and sea salt, and honestly, my nerves were louder than the seagulls. Our guide—Miguel—had this relaxed way about him, cracking jokes in Spanish and English while checking our gear. I kept glancing at the water, all glassy and blue, wondering if I’d actually go through with it.

The speedboat ride along Mallorca’s east coast was faster than I expected—wind whipping hair everywhere, salt spray stinging my lips. There were tiny coves tucked between limestone cliffs, and we slowed near one where Miguel pointed out a fisherman waving from his little wooden boat. “He says good luck!” he grinned. When we finally anchored, I could see straight down through the water—like looking into a different world. My heart was pounding but also… kind of excited?

Underwater was quieter than I thought it would be. Just the sound of my own bubbles and sometimes Miguel tapping his tank to get my attention (I guess I drifted off staring at a weirdly graceful octopus). There were schools of fish darting around seagrass meadows—so many colors it almost didn’t look real. At one point I tried to say “grouper” in Spanish through my regulator (don’t try it), which made Miguel laugh so hard he nearly lost his mask. Honestly, floating there with sunlight filtering down—it felt peaceful in a way I didn’t expect.

Back on the boat, everyone was grinning and talking over each other about what they’d seen. My hands still smelled like neoprene hours later. If you’re thinking about trying scuba diving in Mallorca—even if you’re nervous—I’d say go for it. That first breath underwater is something I still think about.
