Dive-site story
Situated along the limestone coast of southern Menorca near Cap d'en Font, La Catedral is one of the Mediterranean's most celebrated sea caverns. A wide entrance opens into a colossal vaulted chamber with dramatic acoustics and rock architecture reminiscent of a Gothic sanctuary. Divers penetrate the cavern over a pale sand floor, watching daylight filter through the opening behind them before ascending into interior air bells decorated with ancient stalactites.
Monumental cavern chamber illuminated by striking blue backlighting from the entrance
Interior air bell where divers can surface within the cliff to view mineral formations
Sheltered rock crevices hosting nocturnal crustacean species and shadow-dwelling fish
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Late spring through autumn offers the warmest water and most reliable boat operations along the southern coast.
