Diving in Ciutadella: the essentials

Ciutadella, on Menorca's western tip, offers cave, arch and wall diving in very clear water.

Its centres run courses for all levels and guided dives along a stretch of coast sheltered from the prevailing northerly swell.

Frequently asked questions about diving in Ciutadella

What makes diving in Ciutadella special?

Western Menorca stands out for its caves, arches and grottoes, such as those around Pont d'en Gil, and for the clarity of its water. It is very visual diving, with light beams inside the cavities and walls covered in life.

Can I dive the Francesquita wreck from Ciutadella?

The Francesquita lies at around 50 metres near Punta Nati and is reserved for technical diving with the right training and equipment. It is not a standard recreational dive; ask centres that offer technical trips.

Are there dives for beginners in Ciutadella?

Yes. The south-western coves offer sheltered, shallow sites ideal for try dives and Open Water courses, while the more demanding caves and walls are reserved for certified divers.

When are conditions best in western Menorca?

From May to October. The west is more sheltered from the tramontana wind than the north coast, so it often allows diving even when the north is exposed; visibility is at its best in summer.
