S'Olla wall dive on the Cap de Cavalleria headland
Boat access and reserve logistics make a local operator the practical default.
S'Olla is a north Menorca wall dive on the Cap de Cavalleria headland, where the route follows a steep rocky face and then zigzags across stacked blocks and ledges. It suits buoyant, confident divers who want a guided open-water wall with strong scenery, reserve life, and a route that rewards calm conditions.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
5m - 30m
Depth Note
The working route starts shallow on the wall and reaches the deeper face and blocks at about 25-30 m.
Best Season
May to October
Typical Conditions
Steep wall, stacked blocks, clear-water windows, and exposed north-coast conditions that improve when wind and sea state settle.
Site conditions, restrictions, and access requirements.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Treat S'Olla as a guided wall dive. Good buoyancy and a calm-day plan matter more here than on an easier bay site.
Access Restrictions
Boat access is the practical default; plan the dive through a local Menorca operator.
Legal Notes
North Menorca reserve rules apply, so local operator coordination is the normal way to run the dive.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided scuba dive for confident buoyancy, especially if you want to follow the wall and explore the rocky blocks.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the best route is a guided scuba wall profile.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only practical on the calmer shallower edges; the main route is a scuba wall dive.
