The dive

Along a high cliff lies a network of caverns and passages with several connected spaces. Light comes in through the openings, giving strong backlight, and outside there are rocks full of holes and tunnels.

Nautilus Diving counts this site as part of the Reserva Marina del Nord de Menorca. Inside that reserve diving in underwater caves is prohibited — check with the dive centre whether and how far you may go in.
