Minorque

Established in 1999, the marine reserve in the north of Menorca protects 5,119 hectares between Fornells Bay and Cap Gros. In this area where fishing is prohibited or strictly regulated, wildlife has thrived for over twenty-five years, and it shows underwater.

The depths exceed 30 meters just a short distance from the shore, with often generous visibility and a remarkable diversity of habitats. Rocky drop-offs, seagrass meadows of Posidonia at Sa Nitja, Cystoseira algae, and rugged reliefs host over 600 recorded species. Barracudas, groupers, amberjacks, moray eels, mullets, octopuses, and bream populate these benthic landscapes of rare richness in the Mediterranean.

The dive center, located in the heart of the reserve in Fornells Bay, allows access to the sites in less than fifteen minutes. Each dive is supervised by a guide who tailors the briefing to the currents and the site profile for an immersion that is both safe and intense.
