Dive-site story
Situated along the rugged northern coast of Menorca within the marine reserve, this dive centers on an isolated submerged limestone formation honeycombed with interconnected chambers, arches, and chimneys. Light penetrates through vertical fissures into the darker tunnels, creating dramatic light shafts across the sandy floors below. The external boulder fields drop off gradually into open water, offering a mix of overhead exploration and open-reef wandering.
Extensive network of cavern swim-throughs and intersecting arches
Sunlight beams filtering through ceiling openings into darker interior chambers
Abundant resident groupers and schooling marine life protected by the northern marine reserve
Location
