About Llosa Ocellers
Llosa Ocellers is a northern Menorca reserve dive with a shallow start and a route that quickly turns into tunnels, channels, and small caves under Cavalleria Lighthouse. The profile rises back over a platform and feels more like a maze than a straight wall, so relaxed buoyancy matters more than speed. Expect a boat-based dive in a protected area rather than a casual shore entry. Groupers, barracudas, moray eels, octopus, lobsters, and nudibranchs are part of the draw.

Freediving
Not a strong freedive target because the best route sections are below the surface and involve overhead features.
