Dive-site story
Set along Menorca's rugged coastline, this site takes its name from the distinctive reddish hues of the surrounding coastal cliffs. Beneath the surface, the terrain transitions into a labyrinth of tumbled boulders, overhangs, and swim-throughs resting on patches of white sand and lush seagrass. Clear Mediterranean waters grant excellent sightlines across the rocky architecture, where macro life shelters in shaded fissures while pelagic species cruise the open water above.
Rugged red rock formations creating scenic swim-throughs and sunlit crevices
Expansive Posidonia oceanica meadows harbouring juvenile reef fish and invertebrates
Frequent encounters with territorial groupers and patrolling schools of barracuda
