This dive site, known as Es Tunel, is located off the coast of Menorca, Spain. Divers depart from the port and head north along the scenic coastline to Calas Picas cove. The dive begins by descending to a sandy bottom covered in Neptune grass, then proceeding parallel to the coast until the entrance of the eponymous tunnel is reached. The return journey follows the same path, offering a straightforward navigation experience without complex history or stories provided.
The sandy areas of Es Tunel are home to greater weever fish, marbled electric rays, and stingrays. Additionally, divers can observe various seabream species such as striped red mullets, saddled seabream, white seabream, and two banded seabreams, along with the extensive Neptune grass beds that provide habitat for numerous smaller creatures.
The best time to visit this site, like much of the Mediterranean, is typically from late spring to early autumn for warmer waters and good visibility. The site offers a pleasant experience for divers exploring the tunnel and observing diverse marine life. Freedivers will also find the average depth of 9 meters and the tunnel structure appealing for breath-hold diving, though caution should be exercised when entering the tunnel.
