About LA CHIMENEA
La Chimenea is a boat dive at Punta Quintana near Ciutadella that turns a reef approach into a striking vertical chimney. The route begins along the reef, slips into a tunnel, and then rises through a sunlit shaft where the rock walls tighten around the diver before the outer wall opens up again. It suits divers who are comfortable with good buoyancy, clear route control, and a scenic chimney-style profile rather than a flat reef circuit.
