Dive-site story
S'Olla sits within the Marine Reserve of Northern Menorca, characterized by a cauldron-shaped natural basin formed by weathered limestone. Submerged boulders and undercut rock ledges give way to sprawling Posidonia oceanica meadows. Because fishing is heavily restricted here, resident predatory species display little fear of divers, often cruising in open water just off the rocky steps.
Natural amphitheater-like rock topography featuring fissures and swim-throughs
Dense populations of protected marine life habituated to divers
Expansive seagrass meadows providing shelter for juvenile fish and nudibranchs
