Cagaires is a boat-access cavern dive in the Isla del Aire marine reserve, built around a rocky overhang, a sand-bottom drop, and a bright multi-level chamber system. It suits divers who enjoy light-and-shadow topography, sheltered marine-reserve life, and a short run from Mahon. The route is best when the sea is settled and the group is comfortable moving carefully through overhead terrain.
