Dive-site story
Rising from the seabed within the Marine Reserve of Northern Menorca, this submerged rocky shoal offers classic Balearic underwater topography. Divers circle the pinnacle across stepped ledges and boulder fields where predators congregate in the prevailing currents. The rocky crevices provide shelter for sedentary reef dwellers, while pelagic species patrol the open water surrounding the formation.
