The dive

A tunnel runs straight through a small headland: ~15 m at -3/-4 m (Mallorca Buceo) or 26 m at -5 m (Zoea). It is followed by a second, wider cave (to ~-18 m).

Profile and sections

A tunnel runs straight through a small headland: ~15 m at -3/-4 m (Mallorca Buceo) or 26 m at -5 m (Zoea). It is followed by a second, wider cave (to ~-18 m). You swim single file. You see shrimps, octopus, moray eels and scorpionfish. Current can be moderate, and there is boat traffic. Good for an easy day.

Practical: dive centres ask for at least Open Water, a light, a DSMB and good buoyancy.

Depth and profile
Max -14 to -18 m (sources differ).
Configuration
All configurations; roomy tunnel.

Certification requirements, configurations and trimix depths are estimates for planning. Always check them locally and dive within your training.

Published surveys of the caves appear in the journal Endins (Federació Balear d'Espeleologia); we don't reproduce them. Pins come from OpenStreetMap, Grottocenter/grottomap, Wikipedia and wannadive (for sea caves a boat position); seven sites have no pin yet.
