Cala Rafalet

About this dive site

This dive site is located in Cala Rafalet, a ten-minute boat ride from the port of Mahón in Menorca, Spain. The underwater landscape is incredibly diverse, featuring a mix of small rocky bottoms, large rock formations with intriguing holes and tunnels, Posidonia seagrass meadows, and a stunning, expansive cavern with beautiful backlighting. Navigating this site involves exploring these varied features, carefully maneuvering through the tunnels and keeping an eye on depth and your surroundings in the cavern.

The marine life is abundant and varied. Divers can expect to see numerous moray eels and scorpionfish camouflaged within the rocks and crevices. Schools of smaller fish populate the areas along the walls. The Posidonia meadows provide habitat for a range of invertebrates and smaller fish species.

The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer) when visibility is typically at its best and the water temperature is more comfortable. For freedivers, the shallower sections of the site are ideal for exploring, particularly the Posidonia meadows. Divers should always plan for a boat ride of approximately 10 minutes before beginning the dive.
