S’Algar Reef: easy boat dive with caves and reef fingers
S’Algar Reef is a boat dive in Menorca’s Illa de l’Aire marine reserve, just off the S’Algar urbanisation. Three reef fingers rise from a shallow start before the wall opens into caves, arches, and overhangs. The short run, easy route, and steady Mediterranean fish life make it a straightforward scenic dive with plenty of structure.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A relaxed wall dive with tunnels and caverns, suitable for divers comfortable with overhead features and moderate depth changes.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the best features sit on the wall and inside overhead sections below the surface.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the main draw is the submerged reef wall, caves, and arches rather than surface-level exploration.
