Keen on the idea of diving, but not so keen on wearing an air tank on your back? Well, maybe it's time to have a chat with PETER?
PETER Diving School
An introduction to diving in Mallorca
The PETER Diving system uses compressed air tanks like a SCUBA system but utilises long air lines that allow the tanks to remain on the surface while the diver explores the world below the waves.
Without the need for buoyancy control devices and with the safety that comes from being attached to a floating object on the surface the system is simple and ideal for first-time divers as young as eight.
The diving system is available all over the island Mallorca and there are two fixed 'PETER Points': at the H 10 Punta Negra Hotel (between Portals Nous and Palmanova) and the Aventura IB dive centre (in Playa de Palma).

Plaça de la Llonja 
Plaça de la Llonja
A picturesque square in Palma’s old town
The square takes its name from Sa Llotja, the impressive Gothic market exchange building which overlooks it from one side. The decorative sandstone facade, contrasted with the lush green palm trees, makes for an idyllic setting. The plaza opens out towards the seaside promenade on one side and, on the other, tables and chairs from the surrounding restaurants spread out across the cobblestones. A great spot during the day and the evening.

Sa Llotja, Palma de Mallorca
Cultural Centre & Art Gallery
With twin turrets and an angel over the door, this 15th-century seafront building looks half-castle, half-church. In fact it is neither.
