Things to know about diving in Menorca

Why is Menorca so well suited for diving?

Minorca offers a varied and species-rich underwater world, as the island has been protected by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve since 1993. The special environmental protection regulations have therefore allowed a unique underwater flora and fauna to develop, which inspires divers from all over the world. In Menorca, beginners and professional divers alike get their money's worth, as there are suitable dives and dive sites for every experience level. Dive in sheltered bays only a few meters deep and enjoy clear views of the seabed and reefs or take a challenging dive into one of the nested and beautiful caves of Menorca.

Where can you dive in Menorca?

In Menorca you can dive at the beach and discover reefs and rocks full of fish, shells and starfish. Dive in deeper coves and observe the numerous schools of groupers or barracudas that swarm between the rocks and cliffs. When diving in a Menorcan cave you can see impressive stalactites. Dives in caves are more often suitable for more experienced divers, although there are several easy to reach caves in Minorca for beginners. Menorca is also very popular for wreck diving, as a number of ships of different sizes have sunk around the island, providing a new home for a diverse fauna and flora.

Is there anything special to discover when diving in Menorca?

At Playa Son Bou there are the remains of an ancient city from around 500 BC that can be visited by diving. Several coves also regularly contain the remains of clay jugs and shards of amphorae, as these places were probably used regularly as anchorages in ancient times. The Calascoves are Menorca's most famous necropolis, created by man in Talayotic times and consisting of a large number of caves. Here you will not only often meet stingrays and octopus while diving, but also pottery and cooking utensils made by the Phoenicians, who used the bay for anchoring. As environmental protection is very important on Menorca, with a little luck you can also discover endangered or rare species.
