Dive Spot Guide•
Ses Olles
Ses Olles is a sheltered cove dive on Menorca's south coast.
Plan a shore dive or snorkel session in a shallow rocky cove with posidonia edges, simple access, and better conditions on calm days away from south-wind weather.
About Ses Olles
Ses Olles is a sheltered Menorca cove with a sandy inner basin, rocky limestone sides, and a shallow outer section that turns into rock and posidonia as you leave the cove. It works well for intro dives, snorkel sessions, and relaxed training on calm days, but the rocky entry and south-wind exposure reward careful timing and easy finning.
