The dive
First you dive along mushroom-shaped rocks with groupers and lobsters at -28/-30 m, then head back to the cave. The cavern reaches the surface: you can come up inside, looking north.
Profile and sections
First you dive along mushroom-shaped rocks with groupers and lobsters at -28/-30 m, then head back to the cave. The cavern reaches the surface: you can come up inside, looking north. Along the left wall runs a ~40 m tunnel with four rooms that narrows, with strong backlight.
Practical: according to the Balearic Directorate-General for Fisheries (November 2026) the cave lies outside the Reserva Marina del Nord de Menorca. Centres adapt the profile for less experienced divers.
