Located in the northern part of Ciutadella,, this sea cave is a true geological treasure and a paradise for diving enthusiasts. After a short boat ride from the bay of Sa Cigonyà (Pont d’en Gil), we enter a large submerged opening that leads us through a natural tunnel, eventually revealing an inner air chamber where it is possible to Surface.
The walls are adorned with stalactites and stalagmites formed thousands of years ago, silent witnesses to the island’s geological history. The dive is accessible to Open Water certified divers or higher, and is always conducted with two guides, in small groups, to ensure safety and respect for this fragile and unique environment.
BookLocated off Talaier, on the southwest coast of Menorca, the Malakoff is one of the island’s most iconic and mysterious wrecks. It is a former French cargo ship that sank in the 1920s and now rests on a sandy seabed at around 40 meters deep, transformed into an artificial reef teeming with marine life. Although the hull has partially collapsed over time, key parts of the structure can still be identified, such as the bow, the cargo holds, and the remains of the engine. Due to its depth, this dive is recommended for Advanced Open Water certified divers or higher, with experience in deep diving. A true hidden gem of Menorca’s underwater heritage that never fails to impress.

Moray eels, seabream, octopuses, nudibranchs, damselfish, and salema are also commonly seen among the rocks and along the edges of the seagrass meadows.
BookSituado frente a Talaier, en la costa suroeste de Menorca, el Malakoff es uno de los pecios más emblemáticos y enigmáticos de la isla.
