El Gaudi: Ciutadella rock labyrinth by boat
El Gaudi is a boat-access rock labyrinth off Ciutadella port with a compact route through arches, columns, and vaults. It suits confident recreational divers who like structure-rich terrain, a tidy plan, and a dive that rewards stable buoyancy more than raw depth. The route feels like a short moving gallery, so the main skill is keeping the line clean through the formations.
