About El Cormorán
El Cormorán is a Menorca north-coast rock-and-cavern dive at Arenal d'en Castell, where a submerged rock and gallery system create dramatic light and a regular barracuda show. It works best as a guided shore dive on calm days, when the entry and the rock line are easiest to read.

Local Intel For El Cormorán
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A guided rock-and-cavern dive with light play, barracudas, and enough structure to reward slow buoyancy. The galleries make it more engaging than an ordinary open reef.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first spot; the galleries and rock line are better suited to scuba buoyancy control.
Snorkeling
Snorkel works only around the top of the bay and does not reach the galleries properly.
