This dive site, Cuevas de Macarella, is located just a 5-minute boat ride from Cala Galdana, Menorca. It is renowned as an easy dive, making it ideal for diving courses and beginner divers. The site features the Macarella caves, which include a small air chamber, providing an interesting exploration point without significant navigational challenges due to its shallow depth.
Divers can expect to encounter a variety of marine life, with early-season sightings of stingrays, torpedo rays, and barracudas being common. The caves themselves are often home to schools of fish, adding to the vibrant underwater scenery.
The best time to visit for spotting specific animals like stingrays and torpedo rays is during the early season. This site is particularly suitable for freedivers due to its shallow maximum depth of 12 meters and accessible cave system, offering a safe and engaging experience for both scuba divers and freedivers alike.
