About El Arco Sumergido
El Arco Sumergido is a shallow coastal arch and cave dive near Ciutadella de Menorca, centered on a rock formation close to the surface with a window onto a life-rich platform. The route is very calm, so it suits beginners and relaxed divers who want easy structure, clear viewing, and a compact site that still holds barracudas, damselfish, groupers, moray eels, wrasses, and octopuses. Cave time is part of the draw, so the dive feels more like a sheltered arch tour than an open-water excursion.
