Merak Diving's Menorca dive page describing Illa de Tirant as a rocky marine-reserve site.
Boat access is the normal pattern; plan for a protected marine-reserve dive with shallow options, rocky structure, and a loop around the islet.
About Illa de Tirant
Illa de Tirant is a boat-access marine-reserve dive just outside the bay of Fornells, where a rocky islet and shallow anchorage lead into a route that can be circled for more fish life. It is a good fit for divers who want a flexible Menorca site with shallow try-scuba options, stronger marine-life sections farther around the islet, and a protected-water feel rather than big-drop drama.

Scuba Diving
The site supports very shallow try-scuba dives as well as longer dives for those looking for more marine life, including routes that circle the islet.

The shallow anchorage can suit very calm, confident shallow dives, but the site is better known as a scuba and snorkel boat dive.
Snorkeling
Guided snorkel is possible in the protected water, but the fuller loop around the islet is better enjoyed from a boat dive.
