Menorca boat dive with walls, tunnels, and a chimney.
Menorca boat dive with walls, tunnels, and a chimney.
PUNTA GROSSA is a Menorca boat dive on a rocky north-coast cape, with stepped wall sections, short tunnels, and a narrow chimney that make it feel more dynamic than a simple slope. It suits divers who are comfortable following a guide through rock features and keeping their buoyancy tidy in a compact route. Moray eels, groupers, barracuda, octopus, and other rock-life hide around the blocks and overhangs.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.

Operator references describe a vertical drop to 8 m, then steep steps to 19-25 m, plus a chimney from 12 m down to sand at 19 m.
Best Season
May through October for warmer water and the best visibility.
Typical Conditions
Rocky north-coast cape, short tunnels, stepped walls, and a chimney section that is easiest with calm seas and good buoyancy.
Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Keep a tight group through the tunnels, treat the chimney as an overhead feature, and stay disciplined on buoyancy at the deeper steps.
Access Restrictions
Best accessed by boat with a local Menorca operator. The tunnel and chimney line is not a casual beach hop.
Legal Notes
Follow local marine-reserve guidance and any boat or anchoring rules that apply on the north Menorca coast.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as guided boat scuba. The interesting part is moving carefully through the rock blocks, short tunnels, and the chimney rather than covering distance.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site because the main features sit below comfortable freedive depth and involve overhead rock.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first stop; the site is much more rewarding once you can work the rock profile underwater.
