About Cueva del Inglés
Cueva del Inglés is a Menorca cavern dive off Fornells, reached by a short boat ride and entered from the surface before the passage narrows underwater. The attraction is the backlight through arches and caverns, plus a life-filled outside wall with gorgonians and reef fish. It is a cave-style dive where buoyancy, orientation, and respect for the exit matter more than speed.
