La Virgen
★★★★☆
(487)
Dive spot at the exit of the port of Mahón. We anchor on a rocky platform about 12m depth and follows several canyons until reaching a huge cavern that acts as a tunnel. There is a small sculpture of a virgin. Leaving the cave, we follow the high wall on the left seeing diverse life.
Before entering the cave you can see different species of nudis. In the cave, brown meagres, moray eels and on occasion sea cow slug. Along the outer wall, schools of fish.
