About Sa Cigonya
Sa Cigonya is a Mahon-side Menorca dive built around a broad shallow platform and a small tunnel with strong backlight. The outer site is straightforward, while the enclosed section adds a more committing layer for divers who are comfortable with buoyancy, lights, and simple navigation. Marine life gathers around the rock and nearby seagrass, so the structure matters as much as the fish.
