Mallorca - DWS for beginners?

Hi! Going to Mallorca on wednesday next week. I have bought the climbing guide for Mallorca (including DWS chapters), but I am still wondering which of the DWS routes that best suits the "beginners" like me, especially when it comes to access and height... For example, I would prefer DWS routes that are close/reachable from the beach and quite ". I donยดt see myself swimming 200 m or downclimbing 20 m from a cliff for a first attempt (boat is ofcourse great, but it usually cost to much). Another thing is the height, is there any 5-7 m "low" easy DWS routes anywhere?I would also prefer easy and safe water exits :)  I only have 4 days in Mallorca. Any suggestions, advice to DWS beginners?? 
Cala barques is good for beginners, but most routes are still around 10 meters, a lot of easy ones there as wellDiavlo cave not really, you have to downclimb and the most routes are not lower than 15 meters

*Cala Barques
there are for sure some people, but the sea will be cold, better time is in september, when itยดs not too hot and the sea is quite warm....

spent 1 month in cala barques a few years back around august, plenty of very friendly people to climb with at the time.. i suggest you buy a inflatable boat from a $2 shop in Manacor. I wonder, is staying in the trees area behind the beach still a done thing? or did the cops finally get on to it?
