Answer

How can visitors to Mallorca assess water depth before diving or jumping into coves?

Look for clearly marked depth indicators at access points, and be cautious about jumps from walls or edges where depth isn’t obvious; if warnings are unclear, don’t dive. Since signs may be missing, seek local guidance from lifeguards or locals.
