What You’ll See Underwater in Menorca

Menorca, a Biosphere Reserve, boasts a wide variety of seabeds within a small area:

• Underwater caves and tunnels made of limestone, one of the island’s major attractions.
• Posidonia meadows, which make the water so crystal clear.
• Rocky walls and reefs teeming with groupers, dentex, barracudas, octopuses, moray eels, and colorful nudibranchs.
• Shipwrecks for those pursuing the specialty course.

The west coast, near Ciutadella, offers great spots for introductory dives close to shore as well as boat trips to deeper dive sites.
