Ibiza's coastal waters are one of the island’s true marvels and as pristine and perfect as you will find anywhere in the Mediterranean, even around the major resorts of San Antonio and Ibiza Old Town. This is in part due to the de-polluting presence of one of the largest colonies of Posidonia (Neptune grass) on the planet. One strand is more than five miles long and at least 100,000-years-old, making it the oldest living organism in the world. Crystal-clear waters and uninhabited islands like Tagomago off the east coast make Ibiza an excellent diving location.
