Other people's footage, not advice: how someone else dives here says nothing about what suits your team. Dive within your training.
The dive
A wide crack leads into a tunnel with stalactites and stalagmites. Along the way there are two large air domes where you can surface, and at the back there is a small beach.
Profile and sections
A wide crack leads into a tunnel with stalactites and stalagmites. Along the way there are two large air domes where you can surface, and at the back there is a small beach. Fresh water seeping out of the rock creates a halocline, and daylight is visible in most places. It is Menorca's best-known cave dive.
Practical: centres take OW divers (Bluewater: ideally ≥10 dives). There is boat traffic at the entrance (wannadive).
- Depth and profile
- Entrance ~-12 m; after the first ~40 m mostly shallower than -6 m; max ~-15 m. Length >200 m (dive centres say 220 m).
- Configuration
- All configurations; roomy passage. Bring a light.
- DPV: Not DPV-suitable (estimate)
- Short, shallow and decorated; guided groups — a scooter adds nothing.
Who can dive where
- At least Cavern
- Configurations: Backmount / twinset / Sidemount / CCR / Small cylinders / no-mount (speleo sumps)
- Goes down to 15 m (trimix or deco may be needed)
This is how the planner decides who in your team may dive this cave. Rules your own trip adds (organizer, a mail, the AI) show with your trip.
How to get there
Usually by boat: ~40 min from Cala'n Bosch (Bluewater), shorter from Ciutadella. Dive centres only run it guided (Dive Inn: two guides, small groups). A second, narrow entrance comes out in Cala Cigonya.
