North-side wall dive on Porros Nord, Illa de Porros.
Porros Nord is the north-side wall dive on Illa de Porros in the North Menorca reserve, known for heavy fish life and a clean, routeable line. The dive starts at the north end of the wall and tracks south along the rock face, so it feels more like a controlled drift than a square circuit. The north face is the better-sheltered side, but it still rewards a current-aware boat plan and calmer sea windows.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Boat dive along a long wall and rock face; start north, stay close to the structure, and let the current carry the route south.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target. The wall, boat logistics, and typical working depth make it a better scuba site.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here. The main line sits on the wall, so the site is better underwater than from the surface.
