Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Illa d'en Colom in northeastern Menorca, this site follows a sheer limestone wall that descends onto a mixed seafloor of Posidonia oceanica meadows and fallen boulders. The cliff face contains numerous crevices and undercut ledges that provide shelter for Mediterranean fauna. Diving along the wall offers clear water with light filtering down the rock fissures, making navigation straightforward as you follow the natural contour before turning back along the shallow upper shelf.
Steep limestone wall drop-off covered in sponges, bryozoans, and false corals
Rocky crevices sheltering resident moray eels and octopus
Dense Posidonia seagrass beds bordering the sand line where juvenile fish congregate
