Dive-site story
Located off the western coast of Menorca near Ciutadella, El Gaudí is an intricate cavern and swim-through complex named for rock formations that echo Antoni Gaudí's cathedral architecture. Divers navigate wide chambers illuminated by shafts of sunlight penetrating overhead fissures. The surrounding limestone topography features rocky ledges and boulder fields that step down toward the sandy seabed.
Monumental cavern vaults and natural arches illuminated by vertical light shafts
Spotted moray eels and octopuses concealed in ceiling cracks and limestone recesses
Vast underwater rock arches creating natural frames for ambient light photography
