Dive Spot Guide•
Cala Rafalet
Cala Rafalet is a Menorca cove dive with caverns and rock maze.
Boat-access Menorca cove with a surface-open cavern, rock blocks, tunnels, and posidonia. Best for divers who like overhead structure and Mediterranean rock-life.
About Cala Rafalet
Cala Rafalet is a narrow Menorca cove reached by a short boat ride from Mahón. The dive mixes small rocky bottoms, larger blocks with holes and tunnels, a posidonia meadow, and a large cavern with dramatic backlighting. The western cavern is open at the surface, while the eastern side leads into a block labyrinth that gives the site a more technical feel without turning it into a deep-wall dive. Moray eels, conger, octopus, scorpionfish, and small schools of fish are the main sightings.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The dive route includes the open cavern, the rocky wall, and the block labyrinth under the eastern cliffs.
Freediving
The shallow cove can suit experienced freedivers, but the cavern and rock maze make it more of a scuba-first site than a freedive-first one.
Snorkeling
Clear water and a rocky seabed make the cove attractive for snorkeling in calm conditions, but the narrow, rocky entry keeps it from being a casual beach snorkel.
